Patch is welcome, really I am running out of time.

Before you get down to the code be sure you read next two articles:

http://language-binding.net/pyplusplus/documentation/how_to.html#py-generated-file-name-is-too-long
http://language-binding.net/pyplusplus/documentation/hints.html#class-template-instantiation-alias

They contain few quick work around. Also I think you will do your
users happier, if you give much better name( alias ) to the class.
