Hello,

I have a pretty urgent matter. Is it possible to add an element to a Python's dict using boost::python?

I tried:

   extrafields["validated"] = "False";

With 'extrafields' in this case being a boost::python::dict

But that crashes. I hope this will be an easy one... :)

That sort of thing works with Boost.Python and is tested on a regular basis as part of the standard regression tests. If it's crashing for you, there's most likely something wrong with your build, or you've previously corrupted memory and you're only now jiggling the right bits to make it blow up. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
