No, you have to link with the (hopefully shared) library that contains AutoreleasePool.o.
That will only make your 'Core.so' python module aware of the library, so the dynamic
loader (presumably ld.so) can load it when you import the 'Core' module.

But this has nothing to do with boost.python, really.
