In general, please avoid phrases such as "doesn't work" -- they are content free.
It could mean anything from having no effect, to burning down your house.

I think case, I presume, it has no effect. Why do you think it should? If you add
this new target to Boost's Jamfile, but never use this target, it's not built.
If you want to install boost python, you can use this, *in your project*

        install dist : /boost/python//boost_python : <location>c:/toto ;

and make sure this target is built.
