No, this wasn't what I am looking for, my bad.

I just downloaded run.py from

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boostorg/boost/develop/tools/regression/src/run.py

  and I do confirm that the URL has been changed.
diff ./run.py ./run.py_10_30
49c49
< script_remote = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boostorg/boost/develop/tools/regression/src'

>      script_remote = 'https://raw.github.com/boostorg/boost/develop/tools/regression/src'
and as before ran
python run.py --runner=firsttest --toolset=sun --tag=develop
I am still seeing the same error.
As mentioned previously, the error seems to come from the first line in regression.py
Thanks,
Aparna
