Dear all,

Sorry for asking a probably basic question, I have been trying to use boost.python with Anaconda python (https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/)  on Mac OSX without success.

My current installation works with the standard OSX python, for example by running the test in boost_1_55_0/libs/python/example/quickstart using the following command:

$/usr/bin/python test_extending.py

where /usr/bin/python is the default OSX python.

In contrast the command:

$python test_extending.py

where python is the custom Anaconda one fails with 

Trying:
    from extending import *
Expecting nothing
Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread
Abort trap: 6

I understand this is due to boost linking the wrong python --- i.e. the system python instead of the Anaconda one - -- but I cannot make up my mind on how to change this, despite the fact that the project-config.jam file created by bootstrap.sh seems to correctly point to the anaconda installation.

Please let me know if I can provide more details.

Thanks in advance for your help,

gianluca
