 I've successfully built and installed boost.MPI and the Python bindings in
 my home dir.

 Unfortunately, the Python module "mpi.so" is installed directly in the
 lib/-path as all the other Boost libs. When setting the PYTHONPATH to
 point to this location, the boost.mpi python bindings are accessible only
 via "import mpi" from within Python, and not via "import boost.mpi", as
 described in the docs at

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/doc/html/mpi/python.html


 I think that the Python modules should go to a sudirectory "boost" in the
 lib path, or it should be fixed in the documentation.

 Otherwise, the boost.mpi Python bindings are gorgeous!
