Will Boost.Python 1.37 work with the Python 3.0 library?
That's highly unlikely. Just try it and you'll find out !
Thanks for your response. I thought about trying it but I'm just too busy at work unfortunately. Does anyone on the boost team plan on upgrading Boost.Python to work with Python 3.0 since it was finally released on December 3rd?
I just tried building against python 3, and, as expected, ran into a couple of compilation errors. I have no idea (yet) how big the changes between the Python 2.x C API and the Python 3 C API are, and thus, how much effort is required to add support for Python 3. However, given how much backward incompatibe changes went into Python 3, I expect Python 2(.6) to stay around for quite a long time, so adding support for Python 3 to boost.python may not be a very pressing issue. But that's just my 2 cents, obviously. Regards, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
