For python there are two templated library: CXX and Boost.
They are using similar tecniques as yours (IMHO).

Some code ragments from CXX examples:

// Making an extension object
class r: public Py::PythonExtension<r> {
...
    // override functions from PythonExtension
    virtual Py::Object repr();
    virtual Py::Object getattr( const char *name );
...
class R: public Py::SeqBase<Py::Int> {
...
    Py::Object value(const Py::Tuple& t) const {
        return static_cast<r *>(ptr())->c_value(t);
...


Good luck!
