given C++ type into a Python object.

<code>to_python_converter</code></h3>
<code>to_python_converter</code> adds a wrapper around a static member
function of its second template parameter, handling low-level details
such as insertion into the converter registry.

<h2><a name="examples"></a>Example</h2>
This example presumes that someone has implemented the standard <a href=
"http://www.python.org/doc/2.2/ext/dnt-basics.html">noddy example
module</a> from the Python documentation, and placed the corresponding
declarations in <code>"noddy.h"</code>. Because
<code>noddy_NoddyObject</code> is the ultimate trivial extension type,
the example is a bit contrived: it wraps a function for which all
information is contained in the <i>type</i> of its return value.
<h3>C++ module definition</h3>
<pre>
#include <boost/python/reference.hpp>
#include <boost/python/module.hpp>
#include "noddy.h"
struct tag {};
tag make_tag() { return tag(); }
using namespace boost::python;
struct tag_to_noddy
{
static PyObject* convert(tag const& x)
{
return PyObject_New(noddy_NoddyObject, &noddy_NoddyType);
}
static PyTypeObject const* get_pytype()
{
return &noddy_NoddyType;
}
};
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(to_python_converter)
{
def("make_tag", make_tag);
to_python_converter<tag, tag_to_noddy, true>(); //"true" because tag_to_noddy has member get_pytype
}
</pre>
<h3>Python code</h3>
<pre>
>>> import to_python_converter
>>> def always_none():
... return None
...
>>> def choose_function(x):
... if (x % 2 != 0):
... return to_python_converter.make_tag
... else:
... return always_none
...
>>> a = [ choose_function(x) for x in range(5) ]
>>> b = [ f() for f in a ]
>>> type(b[0])
<type 'NoneType'>
>>> type(b[1])
<type 'Noddy'>
>>> type(b[2])
<type 'NoneType'>
>>> type(b[3])
<type 'Noddy'>
