I suppose you mean MSVC or Visual Studio is generating .lib and .exp

I can't picture what you're describing.  However, I suggest strongly
that you 

     a) Follow the build advice in the Boost.Python documentation

     b) Post Boost.Python-related questions in its specific mailing
     list:

Good luck,
