[boost] Boost.Python and Unicode

From: Ben Artin (macdev_at_[hidden])

My C++ code uses std::string as storage for UTF-8 strings. I am exporting some 
of my C++ APIs to Python using Boost.Python, and I would like to somehow 
Boost.Python about the fact that my strings are UTF-8 strings. Ideally, this 
would mean that Boost.Python would convert my std::strings to Python unicode 
objects on the way from C++ to Python, and that any Python unicode objects 
passed into my C++ library would be converted to UTF-8 encoded std::strings.

What's the best way to go about doing this?

Thanks,

Ben
