3554,PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords and deprecated conversion to char*,mloskot <mateusz@…>,Dave Abrahams,"Building current trunk (r57126) with GCC 4.4.1 it throws the following warnings :

{{{

}}}

The problem is caused not by Boost itself, but it's a Python problem that has been discussed here:
 * [http://bugs.python.org/issue1772673 Issue 1772673: Replacing char* with const char*]
 * [http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-February/060689.html Baffled by PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords modification]

However, when Python is fixed it seems to be a good idea to fix the Boost.Python too.

Environment: Linux Ubuntu 9.10 (64-bit), GCC 4.4.1, Python 2.6.4rc2
