Hmm, good point Dave. :)

Oh I'd be willing to update the tutorial. It would definately be a lot 
shorter with this code in the library. ;)

You'll have to teach me how to write the reference material, though. 
That is, I assume it's not hand-written HTML?

For the tests I can just use

void test() { ... }

int main()
{
     if (python::handle_exception(test))
     {
         if (PyErr_Occurred())
             PyErr_Print();
         return 1;
     }
     return 0;
}
#include "module_tail.cpp"

as in embedding.cpp right? That shouldn't be too hard.


I'd like to stress again though, that my current solution is pretty 
basic. I really have no use for multiple interpreters, or multiple 
Python-using threads at the moment. If anyone else does, and wants to 
see it addressed in Boost.Python, I encourage them to post their code 
and extra testcases here.
