What's wrong with the other constructors? For me, it's only the copy 
constructor that doesn't get wrapped, all other constructors have been 
fine so far.

Ahem, I forgot that I was explicitly ignoring it.....
The actual problem is that the generated code won't compile on Windows 
(using VC7.1). pyplusplus generates the following code:

         MVector_exposer.def( "__call__"
                 , (double ( ::MVector::* )( unsigned int ) 
const)(&MVector::operator())
                 , ( bp::arg("i") )
                 , bp::default_call_policies() );

When I try to compile this I get a syntax error because of the 
"operator()" (VC7.1 gets confused by the brackets). Whereas when I 
create the following typedef

   typedef double (::MVector::*bracket_op)(unsigned int i) const;

and then rewrite the above as

         MVector_exposer.def( "__call__"
                 , (bracket_op)(&MVector::operator())
                 , ( bp::arg("i") )
                 , bp::default_call_policies() );

then it compiles fine. Could this scheme be incorporated in pyplusplus?

Almost, the signature is there but the actual method name is missing.
