Milestone:  To Be Determined                         |   Component:  Building Boost
  Version:  Boost 1.46.1                             |    Severity:  Problem

-----------------------------------------------------+----------------------
 Using bootstrap.sh to build boost with python versions 3.1 and up
 generates output similar to the following and the subsequent build fails
 for boost.python:

 Detecting Python version... 3.2
 Detecting Python root...   File "<string>", line 1
     import sys; print sys.prefix
                         ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

 This appears to be caused by the code checking for the python root using a
 form of the 'print' function that is no longer valid in later versions of
 python. Attached is a patch that fixes this issue.
