Thanks. Does it work with just this fix or did it need others as well? 
If there aren't objections, I'm going to commit this on trunk and 
branches/release (hoping the author doesn't mind; I'm just trying to 
help). About the Python version I'm not sure, as the comments there 
state (emphasis mine):

   This is a rewrite of setup_boostbook.sh in Python
   It will work on Posix and Windows systems
   The rewrite is not finished yet, *so please don't use it
   right now* it is used only be release scripts

I guess "release scripts" need it to work, though :-)
