first the test from running bjam.

then trying to run the script from python
I copied the pyd file and the rest of the output dir to c:\python25\dlls

C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_35_0\libs\python\example\tutor ial>python
hello.py

The DLL that's actually being imported by your script is not a Python
extension module, as the modules initialisation function can't be found.

Use the -v option on the Python command line to identify which DLL is
actually being imported. You can then decide to move/rename.delete it or
your own module as best fits your circumstances.
