Thanks Jim, but I still cannot get it to work. I now have it defined as:
def("get_a_or_b_instance", get_a_or_b_instance);
class_<A, boost::shared_ptr<A> >("A", init<>())
;
class_<B, boost::shared_ptr<B>, bases<A> >("B", init<>())
;
(note I change your example line from "bases<B>" to "bases<A>")
Yeah, that's correct. Error on my part.
I tried it with and without:
register_ptr_to_python< boost::shared_ptr<B> >();
But from Python whenever I call:
type(app.get_a_or_b_instance(True))
I always get back:
<class 'app.A'>
Any other ideas?
Yes. I just remembered that the downcasting only works if your classes
are polymorphic; otherwise dynamic_cast (which is the underlying
mechanism) doesn't work.
Adding a virtual destructor to the base class would be sufficient.
