[Visualpython-users] Visual won't load/run with python 2.6.5

[Baker D.J. <D.J...@so...>]

Hello,

Thank you to those who helped me with the installation of the python visual module. It turns out that I forgot to install one of the dependencies. Having got visual to install I now find that it will not run -- error output shown below. Is this a bug in python (v2.6.5) or boost (v1.35.0), and more to the point is there a relatively easy workaround? Please could someone advise me on the best course of action. I have a sinking feeling that the advice will be to upgrade python.

Best -- David.
