Python Extension winth C++ Problematic :(

[Chandrashekhar kaushik]

Hi
I have been working getting my C++ code to be used in Python ( Basically
Extending )
This is the problem i am facing rite now.

I have a function that returns a Pointer to a class in my C++ Code

It looks like this

SLSocket* SLSocket::accept( SLHostInfo& client ){
    socklen_t    addrlen = sizeof( struct sockaddr_in );
    int new_fd = ::accept( sock_fd , ( struct sockaddr* )client.address() ,
&addrlen );
    if( new_fd == -1 ){
        sl_set_error(string("SLSocket::accept() : ") + string( sys_errlist[
errno ] ));
        return NULL;
     }else{
        return new SLSocket( new_fd );
     }
}

I have used SWIG to get the Glue code.

When i call this function ( in python ) and it eventually returns ( when it
gets a connection in this case )
it crashes ! I get a SEG FAULT !

Is it some thing that cannot be done ?
Are C++ functions those return pointers a pain in Python

Help :D
