Are you behind a proxy or web filter of some kind that may be interfering 
with the download? What happens if you go to 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boostorg/boost/develop/tools/regression/src/regression.py 
using the web browser on the same machine?

Can you paste the entire contents of the downloaded regression.py or upload 
it to pastebin or something? It could be some kind of error page.
