Well, let's see. I think you can do this analysis yourself, FWIW: /net/legless/scratch1/rwgk/hot/boost/boost/python/object/make_instance.hpp:63: error: request for member M-CM-"M-bM-^BM-,M-KM-^\get_class_objectM-CM-"M-bM-^B M-,M-bM-^DM-" in M-CM-"M-bM-^BM-,M-KM-^\boost::python::converter::detail::registered_base<const v olatile Y&>::convertersM-CM-"M-bM-^BM-,M-bM-^DM-", which is of non-class type M-CM-"M-b M-^BM-,M-KM-^\const boost::python::converter::registration&M-CM-"M-bM-^BM-,M-bM-^DM-" It seems to be claiming that the static registration const& member named "converters" of registered_base<Y const volatile&> Doesn't have class type. Clearly wrong. I mean, it's a reference to an object of class type, but for all purposes other than initialization you can do the same things with that as you can do with a class instance. > Thanks! > Ralf > > BTW: Do you know what to make of the strange characters (e.g. M-CM-"M-bM-^BM-, M-bM-^DM-")?
