Why ? Have you studied the boost.python documentation at all ? It offers 
everything you need to call a python object from within C++ code, 
without having to touch the Python C API.

(But to answer your question: python::object has a 'ptr()' member 
function that returns a raw pointer, if you *really* need it.)
