Python boost inheritance documentation error

Hello,
This is my first post here, but I found some code that generated an error
using Visual Studio 6.0 (with Service Pack 5):

The documentation (url:
http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/inheritance.html) said:

[snip]
    base_class.def(python::constructor<void>());
[snip]
when I use void at that location the compiler generates an error (although
it
does work without specifying the keyword void). The error is:

c:\BOOST\boost/python/detail/init_function.hpp(319) : error C2440: 'type
cast' : cannot convert from 'void' to 'class
boost::python::detail::reference_parameter<void>'
        Expressions of type void cannot be converted to other types
        c:\BOOST\boost/python/detail/init_function.hpp(314) : while
compiling class-template member function 'class
boost::python::detail::instance_holder_base *__thiscall
boost::python::detail::init1<class
boost::python::detail::instance_value_hold

I do use a different class (included as a zip file), but in this case I
don't think
that will generate the compiler error.

I hope this makes it clear...
