Issue with boost-libs and PythonMagick

I am attempting to write a script in Python, and when I try to import PythonMagick, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/PythonMagick/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    import _PythonMagick
ImportError: /usr/lib/libboost_python.so.1.47.0: undefined symbol: PyClass_Type

I saw a bug from several months ago here:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22800

It seems to reference a similar issue, however with the age, it seems like the problem in that bug should be fixed by now, so I'm not sure if it's something different or not.

Is there something I can do to fix this or am I SOL?  I am trying to keep it python3, rather than python2.

Re: Issue with boost-libs and PythonMagick

Maybe the bindings wasn't rebuilt against the recent python update?
Check if you have the latest boost-libs package (check against archlinux.org/packages), if you do, try rebuilding them. If it works, post a bug report on it.
