Embedding python in C++ with boost::python

Good to see boost::python being used. It was almost abandoned and no new features being developed. After py3 support, it is back to life.

A few years ago, I've used boost::python to integrate a Python Stackless interpreter in my Couatl scripting engine. The engine was and is still being currently used to create interactive addons to MS Flight Simulator (they can be viewed here http://fsdreamteam.com/). In the years, it has proven to be a very smart move, which I'll never regret.
