C++ extension

[Graeme]

Hi All,

I guess that this will be a point which has come up in the past, but I can't
find any references to it anywhere. I am writing a Python extension in C++,
and as a part of the extension class I have an STL list of things i.e

class WhatNot
{
public:
        PyObject_HEAD;
.
.
private:
        list<Thing> foo;
};

However, I have found that this works fine when I use the class from C++
code, but doesn't work with PyObject_New (the list is not properly
initialised and I get a segmentation fault.)

Is there an easy way around this problem?

Cheers,

Graeme
