[boost] [python] Expose a struct with a std::vector<std::string> member

Hello all,

          I am new to boost::python. I have access to a C++ library which I want
        to expose to python using boost. One of the structs I want to expose is
        something like:

        #include <vector>
        struct ExampleStruct
        {
                std::vector<std::string> elements;
        };

          I would like to expose this class but I like to avoid having to write
        a wrapper that would inefficiently have to copy the vector contents to a
        boost::python::list member.
          Is there a way to do this?

        Thank you very much in advance
        Cheers
        Tiago
