Since recently lightweight_test introduced a sanitation to ensure that `boost::report_errors()` is called, and it does not in module tests. The problem could be fixed by exporting the function and calling it from these python tests, but as it already done in other module tests I just turned those usages lightweight_test to a regular assertation.
Synopsis
Welcome to Boost.Python, a C++ library which enables seamless interoperability between C++ and the Python programming language. The library includes support for:
- References and Pointers
- Globally Registered Type Coercions
- Automatic Cross-Module Type Conversions
- Efficient Function Overloading
- C++ to Python Exception Translation
- Default Arguments
- Keyword Arguments
- Manipulating Python objects in C++
- Exporting C++ Iterators as Python Iterators
- Documentation Strings
See the Boost.Python documentation for details.
Hint : Check out the development version of the documentation to see work in progress.
Building 
While Boost.Python is part of the Boost C++ Libraries super-project, and thus can be compiled as part of Boost, it can also be compiled and installed stand-alone, i.e. against a pre-installed Boost package.
