http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/index.html

The author David Abrahams sits on the C++ standards committee, or used to.

From a Python development standpoint his library is the absolute best way to
create Python extensions.  It is also a heavily template-laden body of code
that breaks a number of compilers.

Thanks! I'm also interested if anyone knows of some (free!) self-contained
test code for STL. The trouble with just compiling random application code
is that the application code has no test suite. An example of a self
contained template test would be (from my own test suite):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
template<class T> int f6(T)             { return 1; }
template<class T> int f6(T*, int=1)     { return 2; }

template<class T> int g6(T)             { return 3; }
template<class T> int g6(T*, ...)       { return 4; }

void test6()
{
    int i;
    int *p = 0;

    i = f6(p);
    assert(i == 2);

    i = g6(ip);
    assert(i == 4);
}
---------------------------------------------------------

Great, will there be a version that 'drops' into a SC++7.5 installation?

Pity, I switched back to SC with the drop in, the IDE and the resource
editor work better for me somehow. Even after the patch of the DM++ version
using SC components (which worked well on 98SE, but less so on W2000Prof),
it still required coaching. Can I lift DM++ components into a SC IDDE, as I
do it.

You can still drop in the DMC components, I just haven't tested it.

That seems fine, could you elaborate a little (like what components I need
to copy).
