Re: boost

[Matej S. <mat...@co...>]

Isn't it enough to configure boost to take TR1 implementation instead of it own?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6568952/c0x-stdshared-ptr-vs-boostshared-ptr

i.e.
You define BOOST_HAS_TR1 switch (or BOOST_HAS_GCC_TR1) or per TR1 component.
This will configure boost to use TR1 and consequently boost::python.
I haven't tried it, just read about it.
