OK, I see now that it is the difference between adding

.def("getDims", &Num::getDims)

within the class Num and making it a regular function using

def("getDims", &Num::getDims);

I have to read David's responses more carefully. The solution
isn't optimal, but I can live with it until it is part of BP.
I am many many steps behind the cutting edge in BP anyway.

Thanks Dave & Nicodemus,
Scott
