Error compiling test program with boost::python

I''m trying to compile a simple example with boost:ython using g++ as opposed to using bjam. When I compile I get:

var.cpp:14: `init'' was not declared in this scope
var.cpp:14: parse error before `>'' token
var.cpp:15: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `class_'' with no type
var.cpp:15: template-id `class_<Var>'' in declaration of primary template
var.cpp:16:44: warning: no newline at end of file
My source code is:

var.cpp:14: `init'' was not declared in this scope
var.cpp:14: parse error before `>'' token
var.cpp:15: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `class_'' with no type
var.cpp:15: template-id `class_<Var>'' in declaration of primary template
var.cpp:16:44: warning: no newline at end of file
So I''m assuming that I haven''t included a certain header file, but which one is it? Any help appreciated. Thanks

You posted the error messages twice, seeing your code would be more helpful

Oh no! I didn''t notice that! lol

I just re-installed Linux, so let me see if I can restore the source.

Here you go! lol

#include <boost/python/module.hpp>#include <boost/python/def.hpp>using namespace boost::python;#include <string>class Var    {        Var(std::string name) : name(name), value() {}        std::string const name;        float value;    };class_<Var>("Var", init<std::string>())      .def_readonly("name", &Var::name)      .def_readwrite("value", &Var::value);

Ok, here''s the simple answer : all you have to include is boost/python.hpp. The headers in boost/python/ are implementation details.

Ok, I realize this is a bit old, but let me just point out something...

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(some_name_here)
{
// NOW put your class defs here
class_(...)
...
;
}
