I'm sorry, I understand that with my argumentation I've given the wrong idea of what I meant. I read that post from Jim Bosch and I thought he knew something more about Boost Python development. Then I completely agree that a library is absolutely not dead also if it does not support C++ 11. Personally, I won't be able to use C++ 11 for years starting from now. I would simply like to be re-ensured that Boost Python development is going on, because I like this library a lot. Best regards to all. Michele 2012/5/13 Stefan Seefeld <stefan@seefeld.name>

Can you elaborate a little on what you mean by "supporting C++ 11" ? Specifically, in what way is it not supported right now ?
So I simply would like to understand if this great library is going to die or if it is kept up to date by someone else.
Implying that it is "going to die" simply because it isn't changed to support C++ 11 features is quite a stretch, don't you think ?
How many compilers exist right now that fully support C++ 11 ? And how many users exist who are willing to switch at this point in time ?
