Thanks for your response,
The macro is now defined and project settings point to 
C:\Python31\libs\Python31.lib and 
$(ProgramFiles)\boost\boost_1_44_0\lib\libboost_python3-vc90-mt-1_44.lib
and I get the result pasted below. Is this because the function I'm 
trying to expose looks like this?

bool X(unsigned int, unsigned int, const double* const, const double* 
const, const double* const, const unsigned int* const, double* const * 
const);

I realized afterwards that I may need to rewrite/overload the function 
to accept PyObject pointers, but aside from that, should it be compiling 
anyway? What else could I be missing?

Thanks again,
Geoff
