Thank you. I have tracked the bug:
I forget to use attr("__len__") to get the length of a list. Actually,
I'm trying to do:
     size_t len = py::extract<size_t>(v);

I have an additional question: How to detect a type of a py::object in
boost.python?

I want to change my function to accept either 'str' or 'list' type.
py_eval(py::object obj) {
   if (type(obj) is 'str') {
      ...
   } else if (type(obj) is 'list' or 'tuple') {
   ...
   }
}

How to do the above statements in c++ code?

Thanks.
