It's a learning opportunity. :-)

It happens during the savegame.load() in worldtest, when it uses my new
specie loader, which calls the group::load() base class, which does the
python instantiation.

After some debugging, I noticed that only after loading the character
did SWIG "know" about almost all the objects.  Since specie comes first
in the serializer::add list, this gave me a clue.

With that information, I narrowed it down to this line, which was in
test/data/characters/character.py, but not in test/data/groups/group.py:

--- a/test/data/groups/group.py

The test/data/schedules/char/actions.py script does:

from adonthell import rpg, world

which was what I needed for SWIG to know about rpg::specie. :-)

The GET_TYPE_NAME_VIRTUAL()'s probably also helped. :-)

Thanks for the PYTHONVERBOSE tip!

Don't let us rob you of your vacation. :-)  Thanks for your help!
