[pygccxml-development] boost.python _can_ expose functions with more than 10 arguments

[Lakin W. <lak...@gm...>]

Last night I investigated why py++ wasn't exporting some methods for
me, and I came across the following code, which I promptly commented
out:

pyplusplus_dev/pyplusplus/decl_wrappers/calldef_wrapper.py:100ish
    def _exportable_impl( self ):
        #see http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/faq.html#funcptr
        #if len( self.arguments ) > 10:
            #return "boost.python can not expose function with more
then 10 arguments. ( impl details: boost.tuple is limited to 10 args
)."

If you define BOOST_PYTHON_MAX_ARITY=19 or some such, it allows you to
up the maximum number of arguments that Boost.Python can handle.
Indeed, I was able to export and use the method.

I will update the code. It will print a message to user what should be
done in order to
compile generated code.
