[Boost-build] python extensions using bjam

I am currently using bjam to build my python extension:
Following the advice in the tutorial my boost python
extension starts with an '_' . i.e

local rule run-test ( test-name : sources + )
{
    testing.make-test run-pyd : $(sources) : : $(test-name) ;
}
# Declare test targets
run-test TestClient        : _ecflow [ glob test/TestClient.py ] ;

And the code in TestClient.py starts with:
from _ecflow import *

I am now writing a on-line tutorial using sphinx.
and where I want to use bjam to compile the
python examples used in the tutorial.
However the installed python extension is different: i.e

import ecflow

This follows the advice set in the boost python tutorial.

However this means my tutorial python will not compile.
In the jam file I have:

# declare test for on-line tutorial examples
run-test t1 : _ecflow [ glob
../Doc/tutorial/content/getting_started/src/defining_a_new_suite.py ]
;

This obviously fails. Is there any way of building my tutorial python examples
using 'import ecflow' instead of 'import _ecflow' ?

   Best regards,
Ta,
