Re: [boost] py_cpp_20001102 Alpha woes

It's a bug in my code which is not caught by MSVC or GCC (time for me to
start testing with Comeau). Actually, it was caught by Metrowerks, but the
error message was a little too cryptic for me to diagnose the problem. Try
grabbing pyptr.h from
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/boost/development/py_cpp/pyptr
.h?cvsroot=boost. I think that will solve your problems.
