Hi all,

Interesting that Python has been proposed as an alternative to the 
internal bjam language:
    http://zigzag.cs.msu.su/boost.build/wiki/PythonPort

I found the Boost.BuildV2/bjam native language difficult to fathom. Some 
time ago I successfully implemented it, experimentally, as a build 
system for XORP, however, we have since moved to using SCons, which is 
working well for us at the moment. Some of the constructs in there, I 
borrowed from our bjam experiment.

I wonder if there has been any thought or discussion about possibly 
moving to SCons (which uses Python), for building Boost itself?

thanks,
BMS
