I've updated my set of boost helper functions to work with
numpy -- there's a Readme at:

http://www.eos.ubc.ca/research/clouds/software/pythonlibs/num_util/num_util_release2
(http://tinyurl.com/eo6fe)

A simple example which shows some of the boost python features (reference
counting, C++ versions of python types, docstrings, exceptions)
is appended below.  When called with python script http://tinyurl.com/zy57a it
