though I don't know how Python's  C++ interface works, I would assume
that you will have to recompile Python using the GCC3.x that you are
using to compile your template driven C++ code.
The change in ABI between GCC2.95.x and GCC3.X is a nuisance, 
I already ran into a number of problems using gcc3.1 and the GCC people
already talk about another change in ABI format for the GCC3.2. :-(
