Hi there,

a user just made me aware of https://github.com/boostorg/build/blob/develop/src/tools/python.jam#L396-L404, which appears to limit *some* functionality to Python versions <=3.4.

Could someone please explain what this means ? What functionality is it that is limited in that way ? And shouldn't the above code be updated to include versions beyond ? (Python is now at version 3.8...)

I suspect it's just the effect of time catching up with us. That 34 value was set 6 years ago. And hence version 3.4 seemed like an eternity away at that point. Feel free to post a PR with a new far away value :-)
