The patch needed for boost-1.35 to work with python-2.6.x (x >= 3) can 
be obtained from boost svn via the command (1 line)

svn diff -r56304:56305 
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/python/src/object/class.cpp

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.
