OK, this non-const-reference constructor argument fix had a few unexpect
repercussions. The quick fix is to add the following to py.h:

inline const char* from_python(PyObject* x, py::Type<const char *const &>)
{
    return from_python(x, py::Type<const char*>());
}

I wouldn't expect that one to work. But this should:

   ifstream_class.def(py::Constructor<std::string>());)

More info, please?
