[C++-sig] Boost Python quickstart examples error

[Sumeet Jauhar]

Hi ,

when i try running the example under C:\boost_1_50_0\libs\python\
example\quickstart i get the following error and my python file gets
removed ( which is quite annoying ) . I am using Python 3.3 & Boost 1.50 on
a Windows 7 OS .



How do i fix this ?
