Björn, given that GNU Radio uses SWIG to glue python and C++
together, I'd advise figuring out how to get it done using SWIG rather
than trying to get boost-python and SWIG to play together nicely.
Nice docs here: http://www.swig.org/doc.html

How do you plan to coordinate access between the C++ and Python sides?
(If the C++ is in a GNU Radio block, it'll be running in its own
thread...)
