+# basic test of std::vector<double> binding
+
+# note:
+#  std_vector_double was defined in tbox.i, but now it is now defined in fwk.i.
+#  This is because std::vector<double> is a type seen by swig in fwk.
+#  In version <4.2.0, swig was able to understand that std::vector<double> in fwk
+#  was the same as std::vector<double> in tbox where the bindings were
+#  instanciated by the %template command. From 4.2.0, swig fails to understand
+#  that link and the __setitem__ generates cast failure.
+
+
+import fwk
+
+v = fwk.std_vector_double()
+v.push_back(1.0)
+v.push_back(2.0)
+# next command fails with swig >4.2.0 if std_vector_double is 
+# instanciated (%template) in tbox.i:
+print('v[0] =', v[0])
+v[1] = 3.0
+print('vector length =', v.size())
