     Type:  Bugs              |      Status:  new          
Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0      |   Component:  build        
  Version:  Boost 1.36.0      |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:  python framework  |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 python.jam has a bug which causes it to ignore the "using python" settings
 on a mac.  E.g. with
 using python : 2.5 : PATH_TO_PYTHON ;
 The build system will correctly understand the request, find the python
 installation, but it fails to find the framework, and crashes out and use
 the (default) system framework.  The only way to get it to link is to (as
 root) hide the system framework.  Which is hardly sustainable...

 What currently happens is this:
 1. if Darwin, is PATH_TO_PYTHON a framework?
 2. regardless, use System python

 What should happen is this:
 1. if Darwin, is PATH_TO_PYTHON a python path?
 2. if so use it.
 3. if not, is it a framework?
 4. if so, use it.

 This below is a minimal fix:
 1. if Darwin, is PATH_TO_PYTHON a framework?
 2. if so, use it.
