It is very strange, because I also using Win7 with Python 2.6.

After google the keyword, I found somebody has similar issue on ubuntu karmic, 
I will 
try his solution later.

I have submitted the code that use add_property instead of def_readonly, could 
you help 
us to verify the issue on your system? Because my Win7 with Python 2.6.4.8 
can't reproduce 
the issue :(

Please check out the code from SVN after revision #173, and compile it with V8 
2.0.x, or use 
the private build in attachment for your test.

Thanks

For those who still get this on Karmic with latest SVN, you need a newer boost
version: do sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ajmitch/ppa and update the
libboost-python-dev package.
