  ...

I need expose one of

Answer 1

You can use static_cast to specify which signature to use. With this method, you do not need to create a named function pointer while also keeping your overload resolution within the context of a single line.

boost::python::class_("Foo")
    .def("m1", static_cast(&Foo::m1))
    .def("m1", static_cast(&Foo::m1))
