Hello all, good news! Andrew has tracked down a fix by backporting a patch from Boost.Python's Py3k development to the current Boost 1.38 libraries as they're present in the current Ubuntu release (Karmic, 9.10). Notes can be found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost1.38/+bug/457688 So for now the fix is as easy as adding the PPA to your system and doing an upgrade: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ajmitch $ sudo aptitude update $ sudo aptitude full-upgrade As far as I got it, this patched version is also supposed to make it into the bug fixes for the running Ubuntu release, so that it should be usable by some point of time from the normal repositories. Let me know if you should still encounter somewhere any other misalignments with the python-visual or Boost packages regarding this issue. Or even better, add a comment to the bug under the URL above. Guy (a happy Visual camper again) -- Guy K.

If anybody has got probs with the process of what a PPA is and how to use it for this purpose: Drop a line. If not, I won't have to elaborate too much ... :) Guy -- Guy K.

Dear Guy, I have try those steps you mentioned but I still can get my VPython working. After I run my Python script in idle, it just show a RESTART line and did nothing. Am I missing something? I install VPython using the repository, not compiling the source. On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 5:08 AM, Guy K.

Please, do not mail Andrew directly on this issue. He's a friendly guy, and very helpful. But he's *not* involved with VPython at all, just aided in tracking down the issues in Boost.Python as he's got some expertise there. If yo've got something towards the existing *Boost* bug, add a comment to this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost1.38/+bug/457688 In all other cases involving VPython directly (or rather the Ubuntu python- visual package), open a new bug report or see if an existing one fits your description.
