   Extracting parent object from boost.python
  If there is any simple way of doing this I would be greatfull.Say I have a class Entity and in python derives a new class named PlayerNow I pass this (player instance not class type) class from python to a functionin c++ that expects a boost::python::objectNow what I want is to get a pointer to the Entity object part of Player.Lets me show you with a bit of example code:void foo( py::object p_object ){ // the object passed into this function is a Player class    Entity* e_tmp = (Entity*)p_object.rawpointer();    e_tmp->ThisFunctionIsNotExposedToPython();}Now what I want is to have somthing in the lines of the '.rawpointer()'.How can I achive this effect in boost.python?   
  You should be able to use boost::python::extract<>() to get a pointer to the type that you registered. The exact syntax would depend on how you registered the class.   ;  After some trying with extract I got it to work.Ty ![Edited by - CoMaNdore on June 13, 2006 10:33:37 AM];  When using the default registration mechanism (without specifying a HeldType), it's probably best to extract by reference. Ex:GameState & gs = extract<GameState &>(python_object);
