Yes, unfortunately. I noticed that it doesn't appear in the generated 
XML file. I was just hoping there's a different way of instantiating the 
class that might change things.

ok, thanks. If only constructors are affected by this then it's not that 
bad.

By the way, here's another (minor) thing I noticed about the warnings 
that Py++ generates. When you wrap a function that actually takes 
Boost.Python types as input or returns them as output, then Py++ 
generates a warning that, for example, boost::python::list is not 
exposed and this might lead to errors at runtime. But of course, the 
list object is a built-in Boost.Python type, so this one doesn't need to 
be wrapped. So it would be nice if Py++ would be aware of the 
Boost.Python types and could suppress those warnings. At the moment, I 
don't have many warnings, so it's not such a big issue but I guess as a 
project grows you might get more and more of those which makes it harder 
to spot "real" warnings.
