#include Issues

1. If you should ever have occasion to #include "python.h" directly in a translation unit of a program using Boost.Python, use #include "boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp" instead. It handles several issues necessary for use with Boost.Python, one of which is mentioned in the next section.

2. Be sure not to #include any system headers before wrap_python.hpp. This restriction is actually imposed by Python, or more properly, by Python's interaction with your operating system. See http://docs.python.org/ext/simpleExample.html for details.
