I didn't tried the examples given. I tried my own programs. I succeeded in mapping the
C++ objects to the python object methods without problems.
The only point that didn't compile was this kind of stuff.
class toto {
    double get(double  t) {return t :}
    double get(double t,double u) {return u;}
}

KCC isn't able to connect methods  to python if you have the same name for the method
but different arguments.
You have to use instead :
class toto {
    double get1(double  t) {return t :}
    double get2(double t,double u) {return u;}
}
Then it works. It's the only point that caused me problems.
I know that boost isn't supporting KCC officialy. But it's true that it the best
optimized  C++ compiler  i have seen....
If you want i can send you the file i use to connect my programs.
