Current boost libraries incompatible with with python2 #18

Description

@Earnestly
  • linux 4.16.11-1-ARCH
  • Python 3.6.6 (soon 3.7)

After building libarea and attempting to run the small test program via python2 test.py I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
    import area
ImportError: /home/earnest/build/staging/libarea-git/src/libarea/area.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5boost6python6detail11init_moduleER11PyModuleDefPFvvE

Which when demangled is: boost::python::detail::init_module(PyModuleDef&, void (*)())

The trouble is libboost_python27.so.1.67.0 is built with the python3 ABI/API instead of python2. Outside of providing boost-libs specifically built for older versions of python, is there any chance this project might upgrade to python3 instead?
