Hi I've been trying to use either swig or boost.python to wrap some
c/c++ code so it can be accessed easily from python. I have had ZERO
luck with either. 

this is what I have done with boost.python

I downloaded the boost library and the bjam library. both are in my C:
directory.

I then set up the path so that I could do bjam from anywhere suing the
coomand prompt. Did the same for python and g++. I'm using the g++
that came with bloodshed DevC++ compiler.

So, I navigated myself to the tutorial example in the boost library. 
C:\boost_1_34_0\libs\python\example\tutorial

In the command prompt I typed bjam and I got the following error message.

C:\boost_1_34_0\libs\python\example\tutorial>bjam
Jamroot:17: in modules.load

I've have been trying desperately for 3 days. I also tried swig with
similar results but I feel I'm closer to solving the issue with boost
than with swig. I'm at a total lost here. I have tried the tutorials
in the boost web page but I just don't get anywhere.

http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/hello.html

with swig I get a similar problem

I copied the sample files in their webpage. I then typed swig
example.i as describe on the webpage and I het the wrap file as
adverticed. The problem comes when I try to compile the two *.c file
like this.

gcc -c example.c example_wrap.c -I\c:\python25

maybe the -I\c:\python25 is the part that is wrong. Anyways, I get
errors galore. The first is that it can't find the Python.h but there
are so many errors that it cannot hold them on the screen.
