Simon,

I had the same difficulties about 1 week ago, but I'm using Boost v1.31.0 with
VC 7.1.  After searching the news group, I noticed that many of the older posts
wrote their def as follows:

    .def(self_ns::str(self))

On a whim, I tried it out, and it worked for me.  As far as the include files
go, I'm just using the atypical:

    #include <boost/python.hpp>

This might be another valid workaround you might be interested in trying.
