boost python

Hello, I'm new to boost. I'm trying to use boost for Python, which I'm also new to. I'm going to be porting python to platform where I will embedding python into another process. I will not be able to dynamically link modules on that platform. I think I see that there is a way to have the bjam compile as a static library. I would be able to use that given library file to link into the python core library file and use the module in my embedded program correct? Please correct me if I am wrong. I've been thrown into a lot, and I have to assess some things quickly, so forgive my lack of research. But, I have not been able to compile bjam yet, because my current system is kind of messy and the build batch file got confused as to which compiler to use (I'll be dealing with that later). Is there somewhere I can just grab a pre-built bjam .exe? Any help would be great! Thanks, Robert

Command Line & Config review results

The Command Line & Config library by Vladimir Prus has been accepted into Boost, pending the incorporation of suggestions brought up in the review. Thanks to everyone for all their comments, and to Vladimir for being open and responsive to them! There've been a fair amount of suggested changes, many of which are documented on Wiki [1], and since the author himself keeps track of the issues, I won't reiterate them here - except for stressing the need for a) extensively reworked and extended documentation, and b) resolving the 'wchar_t' support issue before the library makes into official Boost distribution. Also, as acting on the review comments should result in large number of interface and design changes, I suggest that after incorporating them in the library and before the public release the author posts a note to the list so that the interested parties have a chance to comment on the final version. Once again, thanks to the author and all the reviewers.
