unfortunately I can't, as we are closing up on a release soon, so I have
to rely on released packages only.

hmm, from python I simply called 'obj.value'. As it is
boost::python::make_getter or somesuch that generates the accessor for
me, I must assume that the error is burried somewhere in there, i.e.
the wrong code is generated.

By the way, I just wrote a wrapper *function* that returns the object's
member, and that did work as expected. What didn't was 'make_function'
called with a method, and 'make_getter' called directly on the (public)
member.

Anyways, thanks for the help !
