What happens if you "#include <python.h>" instead of <boost/python.hpp>
above ? If you are using boost.python, you should also link with
-lboost_python (careful to put prerequisite libs after depending libs in
the command line !). May be that would resolve the symbols ?

One possible reason for you seeing two different behaviors might be how
boost (and boost.python, in particular) was compiled.
