[C++-sig] Anyone tried BGL with BoostPython 2 yet?

[David Abrahams]

People asked about this with Boost.Python v1, too. I think the biggest
problem you'll find is that BGL is about compile-time genericity and Python
is about runtime genericity. You could easily  map the BGL's genericity
into Python, but that'd be best done by rewriting it in Python. Of course,
then you'd give up most of the speed.

Wrapping individual algorithms specialized to operate on specific graph
structures with Boost.Python should be easy, of course, and the algorithms
would run fast. You could think about building graphs with internal
property maps that contain a boost::python::object for each edge/vertex.
That might be an approach which allows some compromises.

Anybody been adventurous enough to try the Boost Graph Library with Boost
Python v 2?  Just wondering what I might be getting myself into
(difficulty-wise).

thx
