[boost] Re: boost/python: how to: call memberfunctions of an existing c++ object from python?

It is also possible to do the following in my c++ object-code: "ret = boost::python::call<int>(PyFunction.ptr(), this );"

But not so elegant or safe as: ret = boost::python::extract<int>( PyFunction( *this ) );

But now my problem: boost copies the object and passes only that copy to the function. Is it and how is it possible to make the object accessible to the function within the python-script?
