Tony,

Sorry I can't lead you through the steps here right now.  I suggest you
post this question on the C++-sig
(http://www.boost.org/community/groups.html#cplussig), where more
people, who may have more time than I do, know the answers.  Better yet,
this isn't really a C++-specific question, so you might try the
comp.lang.python newsgroup.
