I don't see how that would defeat the purpose. boost.python
is a high
level wrapper for python/c api, just as luabind is a high
level
wrapper for the lua c api.

take note that you don't need to dabble in the python/c api
if you
don't want to (you may have to if you want something overly
complex).
the same goes for luabind and the lua c api.

the idea is that you don't need to since Boost.Python does
it for you
(just as well as luabind handles the lua c api for you).
that's the
concept of high level wrappers.

it *is* something like luabind that allows you to embed the
interpreter.

that's wrong.
