[C++-sig] A few questions...

I'm new to Boost::Python (and C++ in general, though I'm at least somewhat
more experienced with C++ than B::P :)), and am having a bit of trouble with
it.
First, it seems that Debian doesn't include bjam in its boost packages; I've
read in several places that it's just as possible to compile Boost (and
Boost::Python) stuff with make. Does anyone have any Makefiles they've used
to compile a Boost::Python project that I could examine and learn from?
Also, the documentation on special operators seems to be a bit unclear. The
documentation says this about the Rational example:
"What is the business of operator<< .def(str(self))? Well, the method str
requires the operator<< to do its work (i.e. operator<< is used by the method
defined by def(str(self)). "
Does this mean that if I use ".def(str(self))" in my class_ definition, I need
to have defined an overloaded << in the same way? My actual class defines a
method "std::string str()" -- is there a way to declare that as my Python
__str__ method? If I could compile my code, I'd try out '.def("__str__",
&IrcMsg::str)', but I can't :|
I've got a question or two more about how to declare an __init__ with keyword
parameters, but I'll wait until I can compile my code to ask that :)
Thanks!
Jeremy
