Thanks for nice words, but I cannot take credit for Boost.Python. David
Abrahams and others are "the guilty party" :-)

No the question is not trivial, Py++ has this usability bug that I should
fix and I will do for next release.
Read "Caveats" section in the document:
http://www.language-binding.net/pyplusplus/documentation/best_practices.html

Another solution is to use include\exclude functionality to define subset of
declarations you want to export:
mb = module_builder.module_builder_t(files=[r"all.h"])
mb.namespace( 'PTools' ).include() #this will expose all declaration from
the namespace

HTH

P.S. Thanks for bug reporting.
