hi all , i created a c++ extension module using python which worked fine..
then i wanted to embed a call to PyRun_SimpleFile in another app, and the script i was calling is attempting to use my extension module
but i was getting telling me that the interpreter wasn't initialized after much searching, research, and work with msvc's Dependency Walker i narrowed it down to the fact that boost_python_debug.dll is trying to link to the release version of python22.dll , whereas it should be linking to python22_d.dll (which unfortunately does not come with the python installer , that has to be compiled manually )
at any rate, how can the boost::python Jamfile be modified to try this check when it comes boost::python ?
This is correct. The 'debug' configuration is meant to work with a release version of Python, though I don't know why. However, there is no need to modify the Jamfile; just use the 'debug-python' configuration instead. Also, make sure you include <pyconfig.h> before any of the Boost.Python headers, because not all of them do that and you can end up with incorrect structure definitions in a debug build if you don't. (I should report this bug.)
