Hello,
I have successfully built boost.python with visual c++ 2010(dynamic library, 64-bit). I have python 2.7.8 64-bit installed on windows 7 64-bit. I've read here https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/apiref.html#module-distutils.msvccompiler that python extensions should be built with the same compiler that was used to build python itself. My question is, since python 2.7.8 was built with visual c++ 2008 64-bit compiler, can I have the following mix

a) my python extension built with VC2008 64-bit(to match python itself)

b) 64-bit boost.python dll built with VC2010 64-bit
c) python 64-bit, built itself with VC2008 64-bit?

I've noticed that boost.python dll depends on python dll and that's why I'm quite worried about the mix. Appreciating your insights.
