I use Boost.Python mainly for embedding scripting capabilities into my 
program.
I care more about having a simple, easy to use and yet powerful 
scripting language than about compatibility, personally.

Additionally, Python 3 is probably the occasion of revamping the 
iterator and range mapping in Boost.Python, since they've become much 
more important now.
