[C++-sig] using extract with embedded boost::python

[Simon Pickles]

Thanks Stefan.

On consulting libs/python/tests/exec.cpp I got the extract to work, with 
simple data types, like int and std::string.

How can I do the same for a function. I tried:

// C++
python::dict global;
python::object result = python::exec_file("myPython.py", global, global)l

python::object greet = global["greet"];
std::string message = python::extract<std::string>(greet());


// MYPYTHON.PY
def greet(self):
    return "hello, world!"


This gives an error. Its the example from the documentation.

Then, can I also pass parameters?

As for PyErr_Fetch, since I am not using a console application (win32), 
I don't know what to do with PyErr_Fetch or PyErr_Print! Sorry, not big 
on console apps!

Keep up the good work! I'm loving what I see!

Regards

Simon
