-------------------------------
The Debian Boost.Python packages support python versions: 2.4, 2.5.
This is achieved by decorating the library names with the python
version. You can choose either to use Boost.Python with a specific
Python version, or use the default Python version.
Choosing the default Python
---------------------------
You may simply link with -lboost_python. This will always be the
default python version.
These default symlinks are automatically updated when the Python
runtime version changes.
Choosing a specific Python Version
----------------------------------
The library names are suffixed by "-py24" and "-py25", allowing you to
select the specific Python version desired. This holds true
for both the upstream names and the simplified Debian names.
So link against -lboost_python-py24 for Python 2.4.
