I think, the solution exists. First of all you should understand, that Boost.Python really needs to know( see definition ) of class B. So you will have to include it "before" the generated code. What you can do is to add the "B" header file to class A generate code: http://language-binding.net/pyplusplus/documentation/inserting_code.html#header-files HTH -- Roman Yakovenko C++ Python language binding http://www.language-binding.net/ _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
