These are a few examples on how to use the boost::python library to extend Python with C++ libraries. Some of the are based on the existing tutorial for boost::python from Joel de Guzman. Others are independent.

• CMake (>= 2.8.3)
• Boost (tested with 1.4.2, but should work with >= 1.3.2)
• Python (tested with 2.7, but should work with >= 2.2)
• a C++ compiler for your platform, e.g. GCC or MinGW

The examples should work on Linux, Windows and Mac, but currently have been tested under Linux only.

• Set the BOOST_ROOT environment variable if Boost is installed in a non-standard directory
• create a build directory, e.g. directly in the project directory and cd to it: mkdir build ; cd build
• run cmake .. and afterwards make
