I suppose this part is unfinished and what I meant is:

alias python_for_extensions
: : : 
: <include>$(includes)

;

alias python

: <os>MACOSXX <toolset>darwin
:
: <framework>$(PYTHON_FRAMEWORK)
;

At least on Linux, as I understand, extensions should include Python headers 
but don't link to Python interpreter. So, the python_extension rule will add
/python//python_for_extensions to the passed sources.

I think I wanted to implement the same for darwin.
