Uh. So of course, you have to make  sure that the .py type is known. For
example, adding:

        using python : 2.5 : /usr/local/bin/python ;

should do that. If you continue to have problems, please post a minimal
complete project reproducing the problem, as archive, and I'll take a further
look.

Sorry, what do you expect the above to do? "run-pyd-output" is
for testing Python extensions, which you don't have.
