Simple question: How to pass a C++ class reference to a callback?

[T. Panbru]

Try encapsulating your C++ class reference in a CObject, using:

     PyObject* PyCObject_FromVoidPtr( void* cobj, void (*destr)(void *))
     void* PyCObject_AsVoidPtr( PyObject* self)

and so forth, to go back and forth between the C++ and Python realms.
