4609	Boost.Python: Converting from bytes object to std::string	Haoyu Bai	Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve	"I just realized that, in Boost.Python with Python 3, there is no way to accept a Python bytes object as function argument in C++ side. Since both std::string and char* are mapped to Python unicode object (which is the default str type in Python 3). This will cause trouble when porting existing code to Python 3.

The attached patch fix this by allow both unicode string and bytes being converted to std::string."	Patches	closed	To Be Determined	python USE GITHUB	Boost Development Trunk	Problem	fixed		blake@… mistersheik@…
