Description
class A
{}
template < typename T >
class B : public A
{
protected:
B():A(...)
.
.
.
}
My classes are templated.. and i am using this https://developer.lsst.io/coding/python_wrappers_for_cpp_with_pybind11.html as a reference to wrap my C++ code.
New to pybind, so any help appreciated :)
Compilation error:
error: ‘namespace_x::namespace_y::B< T > ::B() [with T = float]’ is protected

Research direction
Start with the protected B() constructor shown in the issue and the referenced pybind11 wrapper guide. Reproduce the reported compilation error for B, then determine how constructor access is intended to work in this binding context. Done means documenting or demonstrating a valid way to expose the templated class without the protected-constructor error.
