Hi Faheem,

The code in the tutorial can be found in the test/embedding.cpp/py
You can find a function called test_tutorial() there:

void
test_tutorial()
{
     using namespace boost::python;

     object main_module(
         handle<>(borrowed(PyImport_AddModule("__main__"))));

     object main_namespace = main_module.attr("__dict__");

     handle<>(PyRun_String(

         "hello = file('hello.txt', 'w')\n"
         "hello.write('Hello world!')\n"
         "hello.close()"

       , Py_file_input
       , main_namespace.ptr()
       , main_namespace.ptr())
     );
}

AFAIK, the code is passing the regression tests. Perhaps you can use
the test example as a staring point?

HTH,
