Milestone:  Boost 1.40.0            |   Component:  Python 
  Version:  Boost 1.39.0            |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  embedding tutorial      |  
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
 Ticket #1890 is 15 months old.  The "python embedding tutorial" is still
 screwed up ("1890" was at version 1.35).  There are a host of blog entries
 on the web about this problem (and essentially no fixes, and few new
 boost-users would understand enough to get through this problem):
 basically
 on the webpage:
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/embedding.html


 object ignored = exec("hello = file('hello.txt', 'w')\n"

     "hello.write('Hello world!')\n" "hello.close()", main_namespace);

 should be:

 object ignored = exec("hello = file('hello.txt', 'w')\n"

     "hello.write('Hello world!')\n" "hello.close()", main_namespace,
 main_namespace);

 As described in ticket #1890.

 This cost me > 2 hours, and I could have written my python interface from
 C++ using calls to "extern C" python API in significantly less time than
 that (and I haven't even seen the API before).  Clearly a better default
 parameter setting for exec's parameter "local" would be the incoming value
 of "global"?
