Ideas:
    
namespace boost { namespace python {
  template class
  class_builder<CMyClass>; // explicitly instantiate
}} // namespace boost::python

int main(...)
    ...
    // now I need a PyObject Pointer for my object a
    PyObject* pA = BOOST_PYTHON_CONVERSION::to_python(a);

Caveat: I have no experience with embedding Python.
