[C++-sig] Re: bypassing boost::python's keyword handling

[Garrick Meeker]

Oh, I didn't see that.  I would like to use this for a python class 
__init__ method, but I'm not sure how this interacts with the init<> 
stuff.  Since __init__ is always defined, can I just add def("__init__", 
raw_pointer<&MyClass::init>), or can I have a C++ constructor that takes 
PyObject arg and keyword arguments?
