Hi thanks for the reply! Actually my enthought python does precede the default python in my PATH. But I think the problem is not related to python per se, but to the installation of the Boost library. The symptom is that while running ./configure (with or without the PYTHON option) config runs until it prints out "configure: error: No usable boost::python found". Because of the possible confusion between python installations I was inclined to believe it was a problem finding the correct python. I should say that when compiling Boost.Python, I did specifiy the enthought python as provided by its options, and its own testing went ok. But no matter: I used apt-get and just included the site-packages dir for my default python install in the sys.path of my preferred python install. Works! Thanks for you help! Edward.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, which comes with python2.7. However, I have installed the enthought python distribution, and this is what I associated boost-python to during its compilation. My guess is that this might have to do with the configure script finding the python that came bundled with my Ubuntu distribution, and not the Enthought python to which boost-python is associated.
I guess your enthought python does not precede the default python in your path. I guess all you have to do is inform the configure script which python it should use:
./configure PYTHON="/path/to/your/python/interpreter"
I also tried installing using apt-get. The installation seems to go well, but it associates to the version of python that came with my Ubuntu distribution, not Enthought python. I don't believe I can alter the behavior of apt-get.
No you can't. Although, if thy python versions are compatible, you can just add the default python module path to entought's python, which should allow it to import your system's modules, including graph-tool.
Cheers, Tiago
