Re: [Swig-user] Inheritance with smart pointers doesn't work?

Yes, I have used this to declare all my classes as being boost::shared_ptr.

Hmm, well for me the Python isinstance function keeps returning false.  Are 
you sure boost_shared_ptr.i can handle this?  Do I need to use any special 
Python syntax to specify the class name?
