#7711: python and unique_ptr

     Type:  Feature Requests             |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  To Be Determined             |   Component:  Python 
  Version:  Boost 1.51.0                 |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  python,unique_ptr            |  
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
 boost::python supports holding objects by std::auto_ptr<> but not by
 std::unique_ptr<>. Would be great if boost::python were updated to support
 std::unique_ptr<> as well.

 Here is a sample:

 {{{
 #!c++
 #include <boost/python.hpp>
 #include <memory>

 struct Foo {};

 BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(foo) {
     // This compiles fine.
     boost::python::class_<
           Foo
         , std::auto_ptr<Foo>
         , boost::noncopyable
         >("Foo1", boost::python::no_init)
         ;

     // This doesn't compile.
     boost::python::class_<
           Foo
         , std::unique_ptr<Foo>
         , boost::noncopyable
         >("Foo2", boost::python::no_init)
         ;
 }
 }}}
