Hmm, possibly another doc bug.
I'll look into it, thanks. In the meantime, the following is used in the
comprehensive tests:

    m.add(PyInt_FromLong(one), "one");
    m.add(PyInt_FromLong(two), "two");

Subject: [boost] enums in boost.python documentation incorrect

I've just posted this:

---------

enum KEY
{
 TAB    =8,
 CR    =10,
 ESCAPE   =27,
 SPACE   =32,
};

boost::python::enum_as_int_converters<KEY> thekeys;

this_module.add(boost::python::to_python(TAB), "TAB");

--------

However, because the last line gives compile errors I tried:

vr.add(boost::python::ref(boost::python::to_python(TAB)), "TAB");

And that seems to work. But since it is written incorrent in the
documentation I am not sure if this is the correct way.
Please enlighten me!
