Hmm, I've made some progress but not quite there. If you cd to the directory with extending.so and bring up the python interpreter, typing "from extending import *" leads to the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: dlopen(./extending.so, 2): Library not loaded: libboost_python-xgcc40-d-1_38.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/Admin/Desktop/boost_1_38_0/libs/python/example/quickstart/bin/darwin-4.0.1/debug/extending.so
  Reason: image not found

Very sorry for prolonging this thread, I really appreciate the help so far.

That command works fine, no hanging at all. It also works if I do "bjam toolset=darwin extending". How would I go about importing this shared library into a python script? Is it as making a python script in the same directory as the .so file, and typing "from extending import *"?

I think that would work.  The PYTHONPATH variable controls where
python looks for extension modules as well as plain .py modules.
