Thanks a lot for your help with this thus far.  I really appreciate it.  Here is where I am now (I'm using the container conversions pointed to by the faq):class Abstract{public:  virtual shared_ptr clone()=0;  virtual ~Abstract(){}};class Filter{public:  vector > data;  virtual void doFilter( vector > &result)=0;  virtual std::string name() const=0;  virtual ~Filter(){}};class PythonFilter : public Filter{public:  PythonFilter( PyObject * self )    : m_self( self ), m_initialized(true) { };    void doFilter( vector > &result)    {    if( m_initialized )    {      cout  > >          ( m_self, "doFilter", ref( result ) );    }    }  virtual std::string name() const  {    return call_method ( m_self, "name" );  }  virtual ~PythonFilter(){}private:  PyObject * m_self;  bool m_initialized;};BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(embedded_Filter){  class_,    boost::noncopyable > ("Abstract", no_init );  class_ ("Filter");  to_python_converter >,    scitbx::boost_python::container_conversions::to_tuple > > > ();  scitbx::boost_python::container_conversions::from_python_sequence >,    scitbx::boost_python::container_conversions::variable_capacity_policy>();}But I am still missing something because I cannot get the following python code without the comments to work:from embedded_Filter import *class SpecificFilter( Filter ):  def name( self ):    return 'SpecificFilterA'  def doFilter( self, result ):    print("In SpecificFilter.doFilter\n")    print( len( self.data ) ) ; #self.data is a normal python list    print( len( result ) );     #So is result    p = [x.clone() for x in self.data] #The members of self.data can                                        #have their methods called    result = p       #result can be modified as a python list    result.reverse() #another modification to result.Thanks again for the help,David J.
