[David Callahan]

Wow, this is a 7-year old issue with boost; https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4125   (

    Thanks. Did you look into the missing Py_fopen as well?
    
    To answer your question, Facebook has a large python application which leverages an even larger C++ code base which is exposed to python with iva sadly large number of different ways including Boost.  We are interested in using PyPy but need to work through a bunch of these issues to even evaluate.

        David,
        
        since I didn't see a reply, I'm having a stab at it ...
        
        There is patch file for wrapper.cpp:
        
           pypy/module/cpyext/patches/boost.patch
        
        which looks to be what you want, as it modifies the 'offending' code. I've
        not tested it.
        
        And out of curiosity, why boost? cpyext needs to do a mapping of internal
        representations, which can be costly, and boost.python isn't known for
        speed either?
        
        Best regards,
                    Wim
