Re: [Boost-users] [Boost.Python] C++/Python Hybrid App in 2020

While I do realize this is strictly about Python, I’m finding myself at odds with the idea of Boost working only with GCC. Xcode lets you compile C/C++ programs that use Boost by using clang. It’s somewhat become the default compiler nowadays for development in both desktop & mobile. Or am I missing something here? - Heriberto.

Hi all,

I read on the Boost.Python FAQ that for Mac OSX users, the library is currently known only to work with the GCC compiler. Thus far, I have been using clang++. I will make the switch, so long that it does increase my odds of encountering difficulties down the road.

What do we think here? In the context of front-end dev in Python for a C++ application, is Boost.Python worth making the switch from clang++ to gcc? Would I be better off using something else (i.e. wxPython)?

I really love using Boost (I've found use for Test, Signals2, and Asio), but I don't want to let my Boost bias lead me to make a poor choice.

I know this question is a tad subjective; I apologize for that. I would like the Python extension to be as seamless as possible, and I am only going to be using Python for front-end code. The interface between the two would likely be with sockets.

I am sure I could answer this myself via experimentation, but I wanted to get a feel from the Boost community before doing so.

Thanks in advance!
