The conditional in libs/python/build/Jamfile.v2 that says:
if [ python.configured ] {
project boost/python ...
lib boost_python ...
}
else
{
ECHO "warning: Python location is not configured" ;
ECHO "warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built" ;
}

Well yes. But, currently, if a tester doesn't have Python configured
they get a total halt in testing. Without the condition they would get
compile, link, and other errors... Probably :-)
Of course I would really like to have some feedback on the "unavailable"
target idea I posted about for cases such as these
