Example of boost/python/call_method.hpp does not compile #326

I compilled the my_module.cpp file with the following command: gcc -o my_module.o my_module.cpp -c -Wall -fPIC -I/usr/include/python3.6

This resulted in the following error:

my_module.cpp: In member function ‘virtual const char* Base_callback::class_name() const’:
my_module.cpp:31:44: error: ‘call_method’ was not declared in this scope
    char const* class_name() const { return call_method<char const*>(m_self, "class_name"); }
                                            ^~~~~~~~~~~

makefile:16: recipe for target 'my_module.o' failed

The solution was to add the following 2 include statements:

#include <boost/python/call_method.hpp>
#include <boost/python/def.hpp>
