  My mistake.  It should be $(best), but the
next one shows everything I need to see
anyway.

That definitely looks like python is getting initialized twice.

  The 2.5 is probably coming from python.jam:808.
If this path is reached, then .configured will not
be set, which means that if project-config.jam has

if ! [ python.configured ]
{
    using python ;
}

it will attempt to initialize python a second time.

  I expect that running with --debug-configuration
will show that the python headers and/or libraries
are not being found for some reason.
