Add Boost.Python about boost-feedstock HOT 6 CLOSED

Probably best not to use the anaconda channel and instead just use defaults if that's what you want. anaconda AIUI is a sort of copy of defaults packages, but I don't know at what regularity it is updated. Anaconda actively maintains defaults.

Yes, it is different than this package. Probably you should raises issues with them if there are things to fix. ( https://github.com/AnacondaRecipes )

The conda-forge::boost package has the Python parts (similar to defaults::py-boost). conda-forge::boost-cpp has the C++ bits (similar to defaults::libboost).

More generally the conda-forge channel is a community maintained channel. Whereas defaults is maintained by Anaconda.

it's already available, here in conda-forge and in defaults channel

from boost-feedstock.

Thank you for prompt response @jschueller

Found it !

Was looking under a wrong name ..

from boost-feedstock.

That's a different package @Tagar. It's actually in this boost package. Please take a closer look.

Gotcha .. we actually use anaconda::boost, which I think is a different than this package?

libboost                  1.65.1               habcd387_4    anaconda
py-boost                  1.65.1           py27hf484d3e_4

installing py-boost has added Boost.Python into what we were missing for the C++/Python interface to work .

Perhaps I still missing something . We just started using Boost from conda, so not sure which package is better in which case. Can you please compare anaconda::libboost and conda-forge::boost?

Thanks again.

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation @jakirkham
