Hi, I have a C++ class that I'm exposing to Python via the Boost.Python library. This specific class is only created from C++. In other words, it doesn't serve the user very much good to construct an instance of this class from Python. A typical use case for obtaining an instance of this class from python is as follows:
import myCustomModule fooInstance = myCustomModule.GetFooInstance() However, I want to prevent the user from being able to do this: import myCustomModule fooInstance = myCustomModule.Foo() Let's assume the class in question with private construction is Foo. The latter code snippet would be an example of the user directly constructing an instance of Foo(). Is there a way to prevent this through the BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE() definition? I'm not even really sure if this can be done natively through Python. Thanks.
