Yes, I figured it out. Boost.Python used bpl-test (or a rule named like
that) but I ended up using

type.register UNIT_TEST_RAW : UNIT_TEST ;
generators.register-standard testing.unit-test : : UNIT_TEST_RAW ;

rule py-test ( name : pyscript : commandline )
{
    unit-test-raw $(name) : $(pyscript) :
            <testing.launcher>"python "$(pyscript)" "$(commandline) ;
    always $(name) ;
}

This worked better for what I needed to do.

Thanks.
