Thanks to some help I got on this list, I was able to implement NumPy
support in the Boost.Python build logic.

I have submitted https://github.com/boostorg/build/pull/139, which
covers the Boost.Build part of it. As the Boost.Python part of this
depends on this PR, I would appreciate if someone could review it ASAP,
so I can complete this for the 1.63 release.

Many thanks !

Looking at the Boost.Build code, I wonder: Some of the modules in
src/tools/ are Jam files, some are Python files, and some are
implemented in both. How does bjam decide which to pick if both are
present ? Is the Python-based DSL documented anywhere ? Would it make
sense to migrate for a given module ? (I'm thinking of the
src/tools/python.jam file right now, in case that's not obvious :-) )

Any related advice ?

Thanks,

        Stefan
