Sorry I cannot help any further; I've never used embedding myself. I hope someone else will step in.
For the archives: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/python/todo.html#pyfinalize-safety I believe you're just getting lucky if Py_Finalize() doesn't crash the process. ----- Original Message ---- From: Igor Karpov <ikar...@gmail.com> To: Ralf W.

However, paring down the code to: #include <Python.h> #include <boost/python.hpp> using namespace boost::python; int main(int argc, char** argv) { { // Using boost::python Py_Initialize(); object main_module = import("__main__"); object main_namespace = main_module.attr("__dict__"); try { object ignored = exec("print 'Hello World, from boost::python!'\n", main_namespace); } catch (error_already_set const& e) { PyErr_Print(); return 1; } } return 0; } Will re-create the same Bus error at runtime... --Igor.
