embedding and extending with Boost:Python

Greetings,

I've got a project in which I need to provide my own C++ datamodel an
extention to Python, but I also want to have access to this extention
from within a Python interpreter embedded in my program.  I also want
Python and C++ to modify the same datamodel within the same program. 
So far, I've gotten the Python interpreter embedded within the
program, and I've also created a Boost:Python .so file to import into
Python.  It works if I use the command-line console, but if I use the
embedded console, it fails an assert (!find_class(class_name)) when it
tries to import.  What am I missing?  I've tried to look at the Python
docs to do this, but as many of you know, the Python API docs are
limited in their explanation.

Thanks,
