Really?  I'll certainly have to look into that.

Fairly sure, I only have one version of Python installed on this machine.

That's the most likely thing.  I've had some progress, and am able to 
get that example I posted to compile, link, and run, but that's 
essentially just using the Python C API.  Now that I'm trying to 
actually use Boost (the examples in this tutorial: 
http://members.gamedev.net/sicrane/articles/EmbeddingPythonPart1.html), 
I'm running into all kinds of problems during linking.

Here is my Jamfile:

--------------------
project-root ;

import python ;

exe embedtest # name of the executable
   : #sources
	embedtest.cpp
   : # requirements
	<library-file>c:/boost/boost_1_33_1/libs/python/build/bin-stage/boost_python.lib
   $(PYTHON_PROPERTIES)
	<define>BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB
	<define>BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_MODULE
	<library-path>$(PYTHON_LIB_PATH)
	<find-library>$(PYTHON_EMBEDDED_LIBRARY) ;
--------------------

Thanks for the reply!
