Absolutely, Heriberto, I agree 100%, though all of the Boost libraries I
have used to-date are indeed compatible with g++/clang++ (Asio, Signals2,
Test).
IMHO, all Boost libs should ideally adhere to this standard, though I
realize I could very well be asking for a lot there. After all, we aren't
the ones contributing to Boost libraries (at least I'm not, for now).
More on Boost.Python, it seems to have fallen a little out of scope... It's
newest version is 1.66.0 while most others are at 1.72.0 **sad face**
Does the team on that front require assistance, or is Boost.Python that low
on the list of priorities? Not meaning to come off as rude, I am just
curious.

While I do realize this is strictly about Python, I’m finding myself at odds with the idea of Boost working only with GCC.
Xcode lets you compile C/C++ programs that use Boost by using clang. It’s somewhat become the default compiler nowadays for development in both desktop & mobile.
Or am I missing something here?

Hi all,
I read on the Boost.Python FAQ that for Mac OSX users, the library is currently known only to work with the GCC compiler. Thus far, I have been using clang++. I will make the switch, so long that it does increase my odds of encountering difficulties down the road.
What do we think here? In the context of front-end dev in Python for a C++ application, is Boost.Python worth making the switch from clang++ to gcc? Would I be better off using something else (i.e. wxPython)?
I really love using Boost (I've found use for Test, Signals2, and Asio), but I don't want to let my Boost bias lead me to make a poor choice.
I know this question is a tad subjective; I apologize for that. I would like the Python extension to be as seamless as possible, and I am only going to be using Python for front-end code. The interface between the two would likely be with sockets.
I am sure I could answer this myself via experimentation, but I wanted to get a feel from the Boost community before doing so.
Thanks in advance!
