Re: [boost] BOOST Python - problem compiling under VC6

Boost.Python should work with VC6. Could it be that you are using Python 2.3
with an older version of boost? The LONG_LONG issue is resolved in CVS. I am
not sure if the change is in boost 1.30.2. Either use Python 2.2.x or the most
recent boost CVS (e.g. the RC_1_31_0 release candidate branch).
