[C++-sig] C++ new/delete with python

[Dan Eloff]

So you want a class member defined as an array allocated dynamically
on the heap. You can do this, but you may or may not be able to access
it directly in python. I don't know if boost::python has an array
wrapper, check the docs, that's what they are there for. As for
deleting the array, you will have to do that in C++ (in the objects
destructor??). Your code is invalid btw, it should be test::objects =
new int[10]; But i would recommend you intialize dynamic arrays in
test's constructor, it just makes more sense.
