boost::python sharing native c++ object with python

[Joerg Sauer]

Hi,
hopefully the subject is attracting!?

I know how to create an extension module using boost and how to make a
class wrapper using python::class_builder. That works fine!

Now that I have an extension DLL I want to embed python in my
application.

How can I create an c++ class object in the c++ app and export this
object to the python instance (not as function parameter but as object
at global or module level)?

Suggest I have 

---myclass.h-------------
 class DLLAPI myclass 
{
public:
	myclass(){}
	void setval(int x){_x=x;}
	int   getval(){return _x;}
private:
	int _x;
};

---myboostmod.h------------
#include "myclass.h"
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE_INIT(mymod)
{
	
python::module_builder this_module("mymod");

    // Create the Python type object for our extension class.
    python::class_builder<myclass> myclass_class(this_module,
"myclass");

   myclass_class.def(python::constructor<int>());
    myclass_class.def(&myclass::setval, "setval");
    myclass_class.def(&myclass::getval, "getval");
}

now I have a main programm
----------main.cpp-----------
#include <iostreams>
#include <Python.h>
#include "myboostmod.h" //???? or just #include "myclass.h"
using std::cout;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
	PyObject *pMod, *pDict, *pObject;

	Py_Initialize();
	pMod = PyImport_ImportModule("mymod");

	// Now that I have python up and ready, I want to export a c++
	// class
	myclass mc1;
	mc1.setval(5);
	
	// I would like to export this object with the python name mc1
	// too 
-->>> export mc1 to python with name mc1.
	
	// Now I want to run a simple python statement

	PyRun_SimpleString("print mc1.getval()");
	PyRun_SimpleString("print mc1.setval(12345)");

	// here the object should keep the value set in python
	cout << "Now mc1 is:" << mc1.getval() << "\n";

	Py_Exit(0);
};


Does anybody has a sollution or some hints?

Thanks in advance 
Joerg
