[C++-sig] embedding examples

[Pierre Barbier de Reuille]

Hi !

I use the interpreter with the CVS version of Boost. In my code I use
these lines to get the __main__ dict (and it works ...):

object main_module =
object(handle<>(borrowed(PyImport_AddModule("__main__"))));
object main_namespace = extract<dict>(
object(handle<>(borrowed(PyModule_GetDict(main_module.ptr())))) );
