I'm going to take a crack at implementing this.

Any progress on this?

Sorry, no...I'm probably too busy to do this, and certainly too busy to do this if it involves teaching myself SVN again. I'd been putting it off until Boost converted fully to git, which has been right around the corner for several years now.

If anyone would like to take ownership of the ticket, please feel free to. Otherwise I might get to it when I can do it with git, but even then, no promises. (I'd reliquish ownership back to whoever it would default to if I could, but Trac doesn't seem to provide a way to do that).

Sorry!

Ping! (Yeah, I know, easy to say…)

Thanks in advance.

I'm hitting this issue extensively at the moment... can you give me a couple tips on what verification needs to happen for a proposed patch to get merged into boost::python?

I'm afraid I don't know much more than you do. I'd be happy to provide a code review, but I don't have commit privileges myself, and I've only ever contributed trivial bugfixes to Boost in the past. So we'd need to find someone to help with the last few steps, and I while there are many people who could do that, I don't know that anyone in particular actually considers merging Boost.Python patches their responsibility.

Any news on this?

Seriously, this is important. This makes an artificial island where one cannot safely pass from code module to another. The converters/details look mostly copy paste. FYI I tried to do an "overlay" fix with detail/is_shared_ptr, value_is_shared_ptr and the converters but got sidelined on the other files as it's beyond the time I can sink into this.

boost::get recognizes std::shared_ptr now adays.

And while we're at it, add support for std::array -> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17885639/exposing-a-c-style-array-data-member-to-python-via-boost-python and maybe update the old ndarray support to the current c-interface :-)

Please come back to us jbosch!

This (or at least a similar) issue is now tracked in https://github.com/boostorg/python/issues/29, so I'm going to close this issue.
