Command Line & Config review results


The Command Line & Config library by Vladimir Prus has been accepted 
into Boost, pending the incorporation of suggestions brought up in 
the review. 

Thanks to everyone for all their comments, and to Vladimir for being
open and responsive to them!

There've been a fair amount of suggested changes, many of which are 
documented on Wiki [1], and since the author himself keeps track of 
the issues, I won't reiterate them here - except for stressing the 
need for

a) extensively reworked and extended documentation, and
b) resolving the 'wchar_t' support issue before the library makes into 
   official Boost distribution.

Also, as acting on the review comments should result in large number of
interface and design changes, I suggest that after incorporating them 
in the library and before the public release the author posts a note 
to the list so that the interested parties have a chance to comment on 
the final version.

Once again, thanks to the author and all the reviewers.

boost python

Hello,
I'm new to boost. I'm trying to use boost for Python, which I'm also new to.
I'm going to be porting python to platform where I will embedding python
into another process. I will not be able to dynamically link modules on that
platform. I think I see that there is a way to have the bjam compile as a
static library. I would be able to use that given library file to link into
the python core library file and use the module in my embedded program
correct? Please correct me if I am wrong. I've been thrown into a lot, and I
have to assess some things quickly, so forgive my lack of research.

But, I have not been able to compile bjam yet, because my current system is
kind of messy and the build batch file got confused as to which compiler to
use (I'll be dealing with that later). Is there somewhere I can just grab a
pre-built bjam .exe?
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Robert

Re: boost python


I'm sorry, I should never have approved this posting for the
boost-announce list.

Appropriate lists for these question should be evident by reading
http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm.

I suggest the C++-sig for Boost.Python and the Jamboost list for
Boost.Build.  Please take any further correspondence to one of those
two lists.

Yes; the current CVS even uses a static Boost.Python library build for its
embedding test.  See libs/python/test/Jamfile.
