any chance of this getting looked at soon?

Not very likely by me, sorry. But if you poke the C++-sig another maintainer might take a crack at it.

great, thanks for commenting, I've mentioned this issue on sig-c++ just now: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cplusplus-sig/2011-January/015856.html

Any chance of this being looked at? This is a very useful patch, and it is sort of a pain to have to apply it and compile boost every time I want to update. Thanks to bhy for the great patch.

+1, my project is also blocked by this.

+1, accept this patch!

anonymous — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 21:29:29 GMT

Why has this not yet been addressed? I think that almost everybody using boost python with python 3 uses this patch, or has to deal with the bug. Any chance this patch could be accepted?

anonymous — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 20:15:46 GMT

Same story here. Anyone on the boost team - can you at least comment on why this patch is not getting accepted?

owner changed from Dave Abrahams to Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve

Speaking personally, maintenance responsibility for Boost.Python has largely passed from me to others. Unfortunately, I am not sure to whom the ticket should be reassigned. Maybe Ralf knows?

svn rev. 79774 applies this patch to the boost trunk

if there are no problems I plan to merge to the release branch in about a week

rwgk, thank you!

DRayX — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:47:04 GMT

Thanks for committing this rwgk, but this fix still hasn't showed up in either of the two releases since then. Is there any chance we can get this merged to the release branch?

Thank you!

Emm, I'm sorry to poke this old issue, but doesn't it solve only half of the problem? How do I return bytes string? It seems that it always returns Unicode string in Python 3...
