While we are at this, I stumbled few days ago on this project: https://github.com/pybind/pybind11 That claims to work mostly like boost::python, just without the boost part. If we were to try removing the boost dependency, I think it could be useful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Rdkit-devel mailing list Rdk...@li... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rdkit-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Rdkit-devel mailing list Rdk...@li... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rdkit-devel |
