High Priority: -------------- Finish shared_ptr support: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/c++-sig/1456023, http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2003-April/003760.html http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.c%2B%2B/2847 Replace "bad argument type for builtin operation" with better error messages. Implement type_info streaming for GCC (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2002-June/001277.html) Converter scoping: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.c++/2044 Document builtin correspondences between builtiin Python types and C++ types Medium Priority: ---------------- FILE* conversions: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/1411366 "Constructor Functors/Factory Constructors" - enabling the addition of new construction routines which aren't in the C++ interface Low Priority: ------------ Write "inside the Python type system", a survey of typeobject.c in Python source Better overload resolution - choose best match (maybe never) Detect non-explicit constructors and automatically call implicitly_convertible<>.
