That's correct as long as you don't try and compile the test suite.
You'll require Boost libraries for the latter.
I'm assuming that you'll use VC7, since that's what is commonly used to
compile Python extensions. I'm also assuming that you're using the
latest QuantLib (0.9.7.) Correct me if that's not the case.
In VC7, you'll have to compile QuantLib in "Release" configuration and
install the "Multithread" flavor of Boost; in both cases, that's the
configuration that will give you libraries with a -mt- filename (not
-mt-s- or -mt-whatever.)
Hope this helps,
Luigi
