boost::python and operator overloading

hi all, 
i'm using boost::python to add acces to a C++ based
network logging system from python and i'm running
into
a few snags wrt operator overloading ..
specifically.. 
some of the classes support some operator signatures
that i'm not sure how to export to python .. 
the python docs & boost::python discuss overloading
operators, but only in the context of numeric
extensions, and there is some things about a
__coerce__ method ..
but i'm not clear on how they should be used .. 

for example supports a stream-like interface:
class LogStream
{
   ILogStream& operator<<(long double ld);
   ILogStream& operator<<(std::string s);
 //for stream manipulators
  ILogStream& operator<<(
           ILogStream& (*pf)(ILogStream&));
} ; 
these are clearly not numeric operator overloads

is there any way i can map these operators to their 
python equivalents ?
