This is how I use it:

/////the.cpp////
    python::class_<FileDialog, FileDialogPyX, boost::noncopyable>
("FileDialog", python::no_init)
        .def(python::init<const char *
                            , const char *
                            , const char *
                            , const char *
                            , const char *
                            >(python::args(
                                        python::arg("title") = (const
char *)0
                                        , python::arg("prompt") = (const
char *)0
                                        , python::arg("extension") =
(const char *)0
                                        , python::arg("directory")=
(const char *)0
                                        , python::arg("file")= (const
char *)0
                                        ))
                            )
        .def(python::init<python::optional<
                              const char *
                            , const char *
                            , const char *
                            , const char *
                            , const char *
                            > 
                            >()
                            )


/////the.py////
	fd1 = FileDialog()
	fd2 = FileDialog("Title")
	fd2 = FileDialog(title="Title")
	fd2 = FileDialog("Title", extension='.py', prompt='Select your script')

I will look into this. If you mean that some new line are missing,
consider it fixed.
