Hello all,
I build a Boost.Python module and install it using bjam as follow:
python-extension pydef : deduced_params_pydef.cpp
        :   <library>/boost/python//boost_python
            <library>/boost/regex//boost_regex
            <link>shared:<define>BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK=1
        ;
    install pydef_install : pydef
        :   <install-dependencies>on
            <install-type>SHARED_LIB
            <install-type>PYTHON_EXTENSION 
            <location>. 
        ;
I the same dir I have a python script deduced_params_pydef.py which will
import the module and test it.
How do I run the python script automatically from bjam so to fully compile
and test the module that my code generates?
Something like (this doesn't work of course):
# Make sure pydef target is built first, then runs python
deduced_params_pydef.py
run-py pydef_install : deduced_params_pydef.py ;
Take a look at Boost.Python's own tests; that should give you everything
you need.
