Boost::Python

        I am using Boost.Python to build c++ to python wrappers.  I am
trying to make binary data available to python and visa versa.  I have tried
many different approaches.  The functions in C++ look similar to this:

        void function(const void* buffer, int size);

        and in python I can create a "buffer" of information.  When I check
the type of the "buffer" it is a "buffer".

        When I compile the c++ it won't let me because "none of the 425
overloads can convert prameter 2 from type 'struct boost::python::type<void
const*>'"

        How do I make the const void * be seen in Python and how do I send
in binary data into this function from python?

        Thank you for your help,
        Mike Ensor
