Although this would work I would rather generate all the code at the 
same time from the same generation script using py++.  As I understand 
this option I would have to generate the global scope methods separately.

So the registered methods and conversions show up in the scope of the 
main module.  Or can I register a global scope method within the class 
registration code?
