option 1:

    BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(my_module)
    {
       def("foo", foo);
       ...
       class_<my_class> x("my_class", init<>())

       x
          .def(...)
       ...
       ;

       more_of_my_class(x);
    }

option 2:

    BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(my_module)
    {
       def("foo", foo);
       ...

       more_of_my_class(
           class_<my_class>("my_class", init<>())
                .def(...)
                ...

       ); 
    }
 
It's just regular C++.
