Thanks David, your suggestion actually works!

Unfortunately, the same problem keeps creeping up with
many other friend functions (e.g. all from_python).
Adding function declarations all over the place does
not seem to be a viable option to me. The source code would get
really cluttered. Instead I will try to file a bug report.
Hopefully this problem will get fixed in the next release.

Thanks!
