Research direction
Open the Boost.Python embedding tutorial at the URL in the issue and inspect the example line that assigns exec("hello = file('hello.txt', 'w')\n"). Confirm the example uses the Python 3-compatible open call described in the report. Done when the tutorial example no longer raises the reported error on Python 3.

Description
Hi all,
on page https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_75_0/libs/python/doc/html/tutorial/tutorial/embedding.html there is a bug in the example code.
The line
object ignored = exec("hello = file('hello.txt', 'w')\n"
will cause an error_already_set exception (using Python 3.7 on Windows 10).
The line should read
object ignored = exec("hello = open('hello.txt', 'w+')\n"
