Re: [boost] [release] Boost 1.67.0 Beta 1 Release Candidate 1

Hi, I wonder whether anyone from the Boost.Build project would be able to comment, and can explain the error message. It's true I relatively recently added https://github.com/boostorg/python/commit/d4d41d94aecc9f8098aabd3587fcb95458..., but I don't see how this could cause the observed error (which doesn't seem to be about a failed Python detection, but about an internal Boost.Build error (to detect the `python.python_for_extensions` rule). I can't reproduce the problem myself. From the generated output it seems as if passing `--without-python` would suppress the failure, but that hadn't been necessary before, or has it ?

As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy. Windows 7 x64; MSVC 15.6.1; normal cmd prompt:

--without-python Is Python enabled by default?
