Boost.Python questions should go to the C++-sig
(http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#cplussig).  Several
people who are not subscribed to this list have had success with
MacOS X on that list.  Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve writes:

  I am not subscribed to boost-users and I cannot easily reply.

  We completed the OS X port only after the 1.30.2 release.
  To use Boost.Python they have to work with the latest CVS,
  e.g. the release candidate.
