You must mean raw_function(&MyClass::init).  Yes, you can do that
if MyClass::init is a static member function:

     void MyClass::init(tuple args, dict kw)

Be aware that the first element of args will be the "self"
object and it will be uninitialized, just as in Python.  So
you'll need to pass those arguments on to some other wrapped
constructor.  See the enclosed for an example
