A template is only a pattern not code, DoFoo cannot be bound to because it doesn’t exist so you can’t do what you want, for more details have a look here : http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/templates.html#faq-35.15.

 

Do you really need a template function for this, just overload a function with one converting the char* into a std::string or visa versa

Would this work?

Well, the example I gave was probably overly simple. The real example uses a boost::python::list, which can either take a char* or a std::string. At the time I'm doing the boost::bind, I do not know what type is being passed in.
