Ok, I tried with python 2.6. It seems to work better, bjam finds
python (I think):
notice: [python-cfg] Configuring python...
notice: [python-cfg] Registry indicates Python 2.6 installed at "C:\Python26\"
notice: [python-cfg] Checking interpreter command "python"...
notice: [python-cfg] running command 'DIR /-C /A:S

print 'version=%d.%d\nplatform=%s\nprefix=%s\nexec_prefix=%s\nexecutable=%s'
% (version_info[0],version_info[1],platform,prefix,exec_prefix,executable)"
2>&1'

2>&1'
notice: [python-cfg] ...requested configuration matched!
notice: [python-cfg] Details of this Python configuration:
notice: [python-cfg]   interpreter command: "C:\Python26\python"

notice: [python-cfg]   library path: "C:\Python26\libs"
notice: [python-cfg]   DLL search path: "C:\Python26"

But I get some other problems. It seems that the command "cl" is not
found so I get a lot of "...failed compiled-c-c++ ..."
