Hello I have followed the simple example from the python boost wiki page: my source file py_moddef.cc: ___________________________________________ #include <string> #include <boost/python.hpp> char const* greet() { return "hello, world"; } BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello_ext) { using namespace boost::python; def("greet", greet); } ____________________________________________ In the next step I have built the shared library 1. g++ -c -fpic -I/usr/include/python2.6/ py_moddef.cc 2. ld -G py_moddef.o -o libpy_moddef.so The libpy_moddef.so file I have copied to the directory which next was included to PYTHONPATH
import sys sys.path.append("the_path")
I am not able to import the module "hello_ext" defined in py_moddef.cc, but I am able to import each other python module from this path, so something wrong is with the shared library.
import hello_ext ImportError: No module named hello_ext
Please explain to me what is wrong. I will be gratefull for any help. Best regards Cuma
