#705 Support boost_python lib name on Gentoo

[Georg Brandl]

On Gentoo Linux, the boost_library_name has to be set to (e.g.) boost_python-2.7.

This patch could automatically do that in setup.py:

                 pyver += "".join(map(str, platform.python_version_tuple()[:2]))
                 boost_library_name += pyver

+            elif 'gentoo' in dist_name:

     else:
         inc_dir = os.path.join(BOOST_ROOT, 'include')
         lib_dirs = [os.path.join(BOOST_ROOT, 'lib')]

Thanks!

I'm sorry, the patch is incomplete; there should be another '-' before the sys.version[:3].

Fixed. Will become visible in next PyTango release 8.1.7

Thanks for reporting and for the patch
