It does not supports templates as Pyste. This is true. But pyplusplus
provides you with
an other way. Can you take a look at boost.date_time library? This
library is "one big template". I exposed whole library to show the
power of pyplusplus. I am almost sure you
can do the same with your library too. You can find relevant files
within "examples" directory.

Please, take a look on boost.date_time example. If you still need some
functionality,
 changes in interface or suggestions - I am here.

If you decide not to switch from Pyste I would like to hear the reasons.

Good luck.
