3054,boost::python doesn't support implicit intrusive_ptr casts,macke@…,troy d. straszheim,"See http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cplusplus-sig/2007-February/011651.html for code that solves this. (the boostPatch namespace contents)

I couldn't find anything on Boost.Python in the release notes for 1.38 or 1.39, so I assume it's still in there.

Also, for those who need this before it's included in boost::python::class_, a better use of the functions (than the typedeffing in the post above) is:

{{{
#!cpp
template<class T, class B, class X, class Y>
class myclass : boost::python::class_<T, B, X, Y>
{
public:
   template<class Constructor>
   myclass(const char* name, const Constructor& t) : boost::python::class_<T, B, X, Y>(name, t)
   {
      boostPatch::register_intrusive_ptr_from_python_and_casts( (T *)0, metadata::bases() );
   }
};
}}}
