[Pyrex] C++ issue

[Robert Bradshaw]

In this case you might want to declare your variable to be *pointers*  
to the given classes, rather than the classes themselves. This will  
prevent c++ from trying to create them directly where the are  
declared (though you will then have to manually delete them when  
you're done with them).
