So: (1) boostpythondebug should be a debug version but it seems to pull in python24.dll even though python24d.dll was already loaded. (2) I am getting "ImportError: Module use of python24.dll conflicts with this version of Python", possibly as a result of (1).

I would be truly grateful for any assistance.

Please read http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html#variants and also the admonition at http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/hello.html

Since ActiveState will be making the Python debug DLL readily available in the future, Boost.Python will no longer have this build oddity in its next release; we'll just have a release and a debug version.
