I've been working on embedding Python in an application of mine for
the last few days, and I can confirm that Boost works fine. I just
defined my own initModule() function instead of using
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE_INIT to get around the __declspec(dllexport)
issue, and then called my initModule() right after Py_Initialize()
from my main program. Then, start the script off with "import
modulename" and it just works.
Thanks for the great library,
Kevin
