Hi, I have a C++ class "Project", which I expose to Python via sip. In Python, I sub-class:
class Derived(Project): ... In addition, there is a Python factory function which creates an instance of "Derived" and returns it: def f(): return Derived(...) I call this function from withing C++, and feed the return value into "sipConvertToType", in order to create a wrapper of type "Project", so I can call methods of the returned "Derived" instance from within C++, using the wrapper. Since the "Derived" instance is created by Python, it is owned by Python. Is there a way to transfer ownership to C++ without using any additional objects? I want the Python part to stick to the C++ wrapper until the latter is destroyed, at which point the Python part should also be automatically disposed, without any need to micro-manage the Python part myself. In the sip sources, I can see a flag "SIP_CPP_HAS_REF" that might just achieve that, but there appears to be no official way to use it.
