Problem description
py::implicitly_convertible<MyEnum, int>(); fails in PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE
it throws exception "implicitly_convertible: Unable to find type int"
Reproducible example code
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include <pybind11/embed.h> // For embedded interpreter
namespace py = pybind11;
enum class MyEnum {
Value1,
Value2
// other values...
};
PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE(my_embedded_module, m) {
py::enum_<MyEnum>(m, "MyEnum")
.value("Value1", MyEnum::Value1)
.value("Value2", MyEnum::Value2)
.export_values();
py::implicitly_convertible<MyEnum, int>();
}
int main() {
py::scoped_interpreter guard{}; // Start the interpreter
// Now you can use my_embedded_module in Python embedded calls
// ...
}
Is this a regression? Put the last known working version here if it is.
Not a regression

Research direction
Start with the embedded-module example in the issue and the py::implicitly_convertible<MyEnum, int>() call after defining the enum. Reproduce the "Unable to find type int" exception in a PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE, then inspect the relevant pybind11 conversion path. Done means the example initializes without that exception and the implicit conversion works.
