Re: How to bind inherited C++ classes?

[Wesley Smith <wesley.hoke@...>]

There are so many ways to approach the problem.  If you want to learn
how to do it yourself, I would start simple and bind a single C++
class to work out all of the issues.  Then you'll see potential
pitfalls in binding an inheritance hierarchy and can try out different
strategies that are appropriate for your situation.
