Re: py_cpp and Python 2.1

Ok, I figured it out. It had nothing to do with Python 2.0 v. 2.1
What was wrong is that I needed to 'Enable Run-Time Type Information 
(RTTI)' in *my* C++ module. Microsoft's runtime could have had a 
better assert message than '_BLOCK_TYPE_IS_VALID' which makes no 
sense (at least not to me). Whew, back on track (until the next pit 
of doom)!

Thanks all
