You could put it here:
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE ... {

scope().attr ("something") = 42;

I can't do it where I define the module because I'm passing a pointer to an object to python. This needs to be available as the script is executed, and this pointer value is only known to a certain class (It isn't globally accessible, so it couldn't possibly be set where the python module is defined).

I know it needs to be done the way I originally posted, but I need to know why it is throwing an exception.

Thanks for the help.
