Here is simple test case:

struct container{
    enum fruits{ apple, orange };

    explicit container( fruits x = apple )
    {}
};

1. I think you are right. IMO this issue could not be elegantly
resolved without
   modification of boost.python.

    Consider next case:

    enum fruits{ other_apple, other_orange };

    struct container{
        enum fruits{ apple, orange };

        explicit container( fruits x = apple )
        {}
    };

2. If you can make your class default constructable then pyplusplus can handle
    this situation. I attached relevant file. Please put it in
pyplusplus\module_creator
    directory.

3. You can remove default arguments from generated code. Also you can
create class
    in Python that will add default arguments.
