[pygccxml-development] Indexing suite and Python containers

[Berserker <ber...@ho...>]

I'm exposing some containers with indexing suite 2, in particular:
std::map<std::string, std::string>, std::vector<std::string> and std::list<std::string>
The manipulation of the containers works fine, I mean get the container from C++
and work on it. The only "problem" I have found is when I need to pass a container to
a C++ function, for example:

void foo(const std::map<std::string, std::string> &m);

In Python I expected that I could write:

m = { "1":"2", "3":"4"}
foo(m)

The above code doesn't works because I need to write:

m = std_map_std_string_to_std_string()
m["1"] = "2"
m["3"] = "4"
foo(m)

My question is: do I need to write a specific converter for each C++ container
or is there a quicker solution to enable the automatic conversion from Python 
containers to C++ containers? Shouldn't indexing_suite do automatically this job?
