I have exactly same problems.

With the GCC-7.2 problem changes to https://github.com/mapnik/python-mapnik/issues/103 :-( I am building against self-compiled mapnik from Git.

When i do `export BOOST_PYTHON_LIB=boost_python`, build the python-mapnik (`python setup.py develop`) and then try to import mapnik, it ends with 'ImportError: .../python-mapnik4/mapnik/_mapnik.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: PyString_Type`
