That would be wonderful. It is one of my most wanted features[1] in
boost.python. Please post a message to the python c++-sig (cplusplus-
sig_at_[hidden]). I'd be happy to provide any testing help.

[1] My most wished for features (in order of decreasing priority):

1. Thread safety
2. PyFinalize support
3. Easier methods to write to_python/from_python converters
4. Python 3.0 support
5. Ability to extend the fundamental PyTypeObject used by boost.python
