Hi Kevin,

I don't know of any such examples, but I also can't find the string
"find_class" anywhere in the source code for Boost.Python v1 -or- v2, so
it's pretty hard to imagine what this has to do with Boost.Python.

There is a find_class in the cPickle module of the Python-2.2 sources,
but I don't see any assertions there
