Cross module dependencies in Boost Python

Question

Suppose I have two boost python modules that are defined as follows. Module A:

class SomeClass {
public:
    SomeClass() {}
    ~SomeClass() {}
};
BOOST_PYTH

Based on your latest response and updated error message in your question, I think the problem might be because your BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE usage might be incorrect (based on what I've seen in other examples of using it). Try something like this and see if it helps:

Module A:

class SomeClass {
public:
    SomeClass() {}
    ~SomeClass() {}
};
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(A)
{   
    boost::python::class_("SomeClass");
}

And module B:

class AnotherClass {
public:
    AnotherClass() {}
    ~AnotherClass() {}
    void func(SomeClass& sp) {}
};
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(B)
{   boost::python::class_("AnotherClass")
        .def("func", &AnotherClass::func)
    ;
}

Note the insertion of a "boost::python::" prefix onto the class_<...> statement in each of the two BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE declarations.
