[C++-sig] Re: please help with simple program crashing

[Drew Ferraro]

hi dave,

thanks for your reply! this might sound stupid, but could you tell me
what i should do then to have them both use the same standard library?
im using visual studio .net 2003 if that matters. also, what is the
alternative to Py_Finalize, and why is it incompatible but the other
Py_XXX function are not ? thanks for any help! ps, i have boost
included because i was just using it to do some other stuff (i was
actually able to call a C++ function through the Py_SimpleString()
function...)
