Since it is trivial to have a Opposite, Miro wants python and Deluge doesn't need it.

You should read his comments again. He said, 'boost-python will no longe= r = conflict with boost but just add python support.' It's what I have = requested sometime ago and exactly what we need. Thanks for your work, = barner, and look forward for it! I have been a bit busy lately, but I wi= ll = try to find time to test it when you have patch available. BTW: Seperate ports aren't insane if done in right way....and very nice = to = have.
