we're planning to make the jump to Mailman next Monday, so don't worry

Greetings,

I've got a project in which I want to embed a python interpreter in
(done,
functional), and also extend the python interpreter with the program's
own
C++ datamodel (partially done, functional).  The problem is, I can't get
it
to work in the middle.  What I mean is, if I load a python interpreter
from
the command line, and import my Boost:Python-created library, it works.
And
I can successfully load the Python interpreter from within my program,
but
if I try to import the Boost:Python-created library from within the
embedded
interpreter, it fails an assert on !find_class(class_name) in the python
libs.

Is there some example code for what I'm trying to do?  What am I
missing?
