I might have partially solved it.

At the moment I use this code:

PyObject* getDict(){
	PyObject* m = PyDict_New();
	
	PyDict_SetItem(m, PyString_FromString("test"), PyFloat_FromDouble(4.6f);
	
	return m;
}

And have exported it like this:

def("getDict", &getDict);

But this seems to leak some memory. I guess I should use 
manage_new_object as a return policy but when I do I get a segfault. It 
seems like it tries to use free but should use delete instead.

Is this the "right" way or should I do it some other way? What about 
memory leakage?
