#986: Problem building Python modules on boost 1.34.0

   Status:  new          |   Milestone:  Boost 1.34.1  
Component:  Python       |     Version:  release 1.34.0

 When trying to build a Python module from the Tutorial quickstart from
 libs\python\example\quickstart , I ran "bjam --toolset=gcc release" using
 mingw under WindowsXP. The following error happens:

 C:\Carlos\Apps\boost_1_34_0\libs\python\example\quickstart>bjam
 --toolset=gcc release
 Jamroot:17: in modules.load
 rule python-extension unknown in module
 Jamfile</C:/Carlos/Apps/boost_1_34_0/lib

 C:\Carlos\Apps\boost_1_34_0\libs\python\example\quickstart\boost-
 build.jam:7: in

 The problem is in: rule python-extension unknown in module Jamfile.

 After talking to some people on #boost, I changed the file:

 tools/build/v2/user-config.jam

 and added: using python ;

 After this, the module compiles correctly.
