Hi,

I want to embedd python into my app using boost:ython. sadly it crashes all of the time. it crashes straight on exec, but also trying to retrieve, say, the __main__ module. strangely enough using PyImport_ImportModule does not crash, even though it looks that that is just what python::import calls (where it crashes according to gdb). Has anyone else had this experience? I have taken care to move my macports build of python out of the way, so that both boost and my app just see the appe compiled python. further i get a crash also on exec on ubuntu (havent tried import there yet).

I suggest you post your question, along with a minimal, complete, reproducible example of what you're trying to do, to the c++-sig: http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#cplussig -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
