​Stefan,

I don't know about your personal case, however this is my
boost-command-line that works with the 64bit python.
b2 toolset=msvc-14.0 address-model=64 variant=debug,release threading=multi
link=static --with-date_time --with-thread --with-system --with-chrono
--with-atomic --with-python --with-filesystem stage​

​Obviously I have other libraries built, and use visual studio 2013 -
However this works for me. If you continue to have errors It may well be
your python install at fault.​
