[Boost-users] How to import a dll to python

Hi all:

I am completely new to Python and Boost.python. (I have been using it for
two days)

I was trying out a tutorial example that is located in the
boost_1_34_1\libs\example\tutorial folder of the standard Boost
distribution.

After running ./Bjam target-os=cygwin toolset = gcc it created hello.dll,
hello.dll.a and hello.o files in
boost_1_34_1\libs\python\example\tutorial\bin\gcc-3.4.4\debug.

However, when I go to python and use "import python" it gives me following
error

########################################
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named hello
########################################

What am I doing wrong? I am completely new to this boost and python so
simplified answers will help a lot.

Thank you
