 When trying to compile Boost Python examples I received the following
 errors on a Mac using toolset=darwin and on a PC using toolset=msvc-8_0.

 After adding import python ; per a suggestion from Dave Abrahams I was
 successfully able to compile all the examples on  my Mac.  I will test on
 Tuesday to confirm that it also fixes the problems I had on a PC.  I am
 submitting this ticket per a request from Dave.
