Attached are a simple C++ file convert.cpp and a makefile. The Python
extension does however require the Boost Python Library (www.boost.org), a
C++ system to create Python extension modules.

The linking fails with errors like:

convert.o(.complex<double>
boost::python::detail::text$complex_from_python<double>(_object *,
boost::python::type<double>)+0x10):convert.cpp: undefined reference to
`PyInt_Type'
../
/users/pbienst/tmp/boost_cvs/libs/python/src/libboost_python.a(extension_cla
ss.o)(.text+0x3ad):extension_class.cpp: undefined reference to
`PyExc_RuntimeError'
...

These are symbols which I suppose must be in libpython2.1.

Thanks,

Peter
