Great!

However,

  http://zigzag.cs.msu.su/boost.build/wiki/PythonPort/Quickstart

contains:

   Get a fresh version of Boost.Jam from
     http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/jam

   and build it, by going to the "src" subdirectory and running
   ./build.sh --with-python=/usr

however, the insource comments in build.sh say:

   # The one option we support in the invocation
   # is the name of the toolset to force building
   # with.
   case "$1" in

so, I'm guessing the --with-python is ignored?  I tried
without the --with-python and it ran OK.
