[boost] Boost Python issue

I recently upgrade my Boost installation from boost_1_24_0 to boost_1_27_0 and found that it broke my Boost Python module.  Apparently the the definition of

boost::python::handle_exception has changed:

in 1.24:

void handle_exception()
{
    try {
        throw;
    }
    catch(const boost::python::error_already_set&)
    {
    }
    catch(const std::bad_alloc&)
    {
        PyErr_NoMemory();
    }
    catch(const std::exception& x)
    {
        PyErr_SetString(PyExc_RuntimeError, x.what());
    }
    catch(...)
    {
        PyErr_SetString(PyExc_RuntimeError, "unidentifiable C++ exception");
    }
}

in 1.27:

template <class T>
bool handle_exception(T f)
{
    return handle_exception_impl(function0<void>(boost::ref(f)));
}


I am unsure what the template parameter T and argument f should be.  It is some sort of function pointer, but I am lost as to what function should be passed in.  The example page (which I modeled my module after) has not been updated and still shows handle_exception() with no argument.

Any ideas?
