I'm not sure why that's relevant, but see boost/python/type_id.hpp.

// for this compiler at least, cross-shared-library type_info
// comparisons don't work, so use typeid(x).name() instead. It's not
// yet clear what the best default strategy is.
# if (defined(__GNUC__) && __GNUC__ >= 3) \
 || defined(_AIX) \
 || (   defined(__sgi) && defined(__host_mips))
#  define BOOST_PYTHON_TYPE_ID_NAME
# endif
