[C++-sig] accessing nontrivial types

[Matthew Scouten (TT)]

The stl containers are not handled by default. You will have to manually
expose it. You have a few options here:
	1) the vector_indexing_suite might work for a std::list. Give it
a try.
	2) Manually expose the function the you care about. 
	3) have a couple of get/set functions as a property that copies
your std::list to and from a bp::list.

Subject: [C++-sig] accessing nontrivial types

Hello group,
simple types (int, float, etc.) seem to transfer without problem to
C++ and back to Python, but whenever I try returning something
nontrivial from C++ I get something like this:
>>> a = myclass.Myclass()
>>> print a.i
42
>>> print a.f
3.14159
>>> print a.ilist
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: No Python class registered for C++ class std::list<int,
std::allocator<int> >


The code for this example is here:

I tried looking in the documentation but was not able to understand
what to do about this error. Any examples out there?

thanks,
AW
