Next code was generated by Py++:

#include "boost/python.hpp"

#include "1.h"

namespace bp = boost::python;

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(pyplusplus){
    bp::class_< AAA, boost::noncopyable >( "AAA" )
        .def( bp::init< >() );

    bp::scope().attr("s_global") = bp::object( boost::ref( s_global ) );
}
