--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 When using the Python and Boost.Python headers in a program before
 including the Boost.foreach header, I get a weired compiler error in line
 221 of boost/foreach.hpp.

 This is probably because the Python headers #define the word "Bool" used
 in that line.

 Changing the code in line 221 and 222 of foreach.hpp to

 template<typename Bool1>

 inline boost::mpl::not_<Bool1> *not_(Bool1 *) { return 0; }

 avoids the problem.

 I used GCC 4.3.2 on Ubuntu Linux; Python 2.5 and Python 2.6.
