[C++-sig] Re: Accessing C++ values from within Python

[Jeffrey Holle]

I'm sending the source of a simple project that does what I believe you 
are trying to do.

In Main.cpp, note the use of call, and the use of ref within it.
The former does all the "magic" of converting C++ objects to/from python.
The later causes the C++ object to be passed by reference, allowing the 
python script to alter C++ object attributes.
