Just return boost::python::object by value; it's actually a smart
pointer that carries a PyObject* and uses Python's reference counting,
and you can implicitly create one from boost::python::list (since list
derives from object).
Just returning boost::python::list by value might also work, but that
copy constructor might be overloaded to do deep copies (I'm not sure),
and you seem to be trying to avoid that.
