BPL: How do you get python to use C++ function arg defaults?

I wrapped a class with some methods of the type...

char * myclass::myfunc(int mynum, const char * mystring = NULL)

Now, the wrapped class method does work.. however, when I was testing 
it under the interactive python session, it complained that function 
requires 3 parameters, and I had only provided 2 as in:

import mywrap

mw = mywrap(1)
mw.myfunc(1) // it didn't like this...

Shouldn't the NULL default be used by the python call?

It didn't complain when I did

mw.myfunc(1,"") // This worked but defeats the purpose of using 
defaults

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
