Woooah that looks like it does work, although I had to interpret it like so:class DerivedTest(BaseTest): def __init__(self): BaseTest.__init__(self) def GimmeNumber(self): return 100 I don't really consider myself an expert on these things, though I was Googling around on the proper way to handle the inheritance construction in Python. Is this kind of the normal rigors when subclassing in Python normally, or is this something I must particularly pay attention to when using Boost?
Calling the base class __init__ is less important in pure Python (i.e. sometimes it's not necessary), but it's still definitely good practice; it depends on whether the base class __init__ does anything important. Python does not ever call it automatically, and in Boost.Python it definitely does something important.
