It's hardly minimal!

A minimal example would have no "documentation" strings, no use of
named arguments (bp::arg(...)) and no use of things that you get by
default anyway, like default_call_policies.  It would not contain
extraneous implicit conversions from int.  This is a problem with many
code generators: they create an unreadable mess for anyone who wants
to understand the result.  Part of the reason many people despise the
MFC Wizards.  I suggest you fix Py++ so it doesn't add vacuous
"documentation" and other needless cruft.

In a minimal example, there would be just one .cpp file, one .py file,
and if possible, a Jamfile I can use to build and run the test.

BTW, your #include guards use identifiers that are reserved to the C++
implementation.

I made your example work.  I had to add an operator* to your smart
pointer, although I think that uncovers a bug in Boost.Python: we
should be using get_pointer where it needed the operator*, instead.

I don't know if this meets your needs or not, but the result is
enclosed.
