No. Both David and I spent a significant amount of time dealing with the
requirement that Python.h has to be included before any system header file. We
had to change virtually all boost/python header files and some of the .cpp
files.

Python.h (or some of the files it includes) unconditionally defines macros
related to XOPEN and POSIX compliance. These have to be seen before any system
header is included. (I find this requirement horrible, but that's the way it
is.)
