Thanks, sorry I'm a beginner with Python.

I'm still having trouble importing when I run in Python. The hello world program gives the following error about loading the dll.

first the test from running bjam. ...patience... ...found 1915 targets... ...using 1 temp target... ...updating 2 targets... ...using hello_ext.pyd... capture-output bin\hello.test\msvc-8.0express\debug\threading-multi\hello 1 file(s) copied. **passed** bin\hello.test\msvc-8.0express\debug\threading-multi\hello.test ...updated 2 targets...

then trying to run the script from python I copied the pyd file and the rest of the output dir to c:\python25\dlls

C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_35_0\libs\python\example\tutorial>python hello.py

Traceback (most recent call last): File "hello.py", line 6, in <module> import hello_ext ImportError: DLL load failed: This application has failed to start because the a pplication configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Tony, Sorry I can't lead you through the steps here right now. I suggest you post this question on the C++-sig (http://www.boost.org/community/groups.html#cplussig), where more people, who may have more time than I do, know the answers. Better yet, this isn't really a C++-specific question, so you might try the comp.lang.python newsgroup. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
