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.

Can you elaborate a little on what you mean by "supporting C++ 11" ?
Specifically, in what way is it not supported right now ?

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 ?
