YES!!
Thanks heaps, that solved it perfectly...
I have been bashing my head a bit on that one... couldn't quite figure  it
out. I don't completely comprehend templates, and the wierd and  wonderful
way that it works...

Now, just a quicky:
If i have two class methods:
class A {
public:
     const std::string & getName () { return m_name; }
private:
     std::string m_name;
};

class B {
public
     const A * getA () const { return m_a; }
           A * getA ()       { return m_a; }
private:
     A * m_a;
};

How do i wrap that method? I need them both there, but when i try to  wrap
it like this:


class_ <B> ("B")
     .def ("getA",  &B::getA, return_internal_reference <> ())
;

It complains quite a lot, since it is an overloaded method.

*. If i do it with the range method as suggested, it says that it can
convert from A.
