Boost.Python static method overloads

Question

How do I expose the following class using Boost.Python?

class C {
 public:
  static void F(int) {}
  static void F(double) {}
};

I tried something like this:

bp::class_<C>("C")
  .def("F", (void (C::*)(int))&C::F).staticmethod("F")
  .def("F", (void (C::*)(double))&C::F).staticmethod("F")
;

But, it raises an exception in Python (SystemError: initialization of libdistributions raised unreported exception). If I remove one of the overloads from the bp::class_, then everything works fine. I know that Boost.Python can automatically deal with overloaded constructors, so I was wondering if there was something like that for static methods.

Answer

bp::class_<C>("C")
  .def("F", (void (C::*)(int))&C::F)  // Note missing staticmethod call!
  .def("F", (void (C::*)(double))&C::F).staticmethod("F")
;
