PS: It's a pitty that none of the test builders indicate what Python version they are running with. That would have been valuable

for Boost.Python tests. If it's important you should add an informational test that shows the Python version being tested.
While that might work, it seems a bit hackish to me. It seems the Python version (as well as a number of other config parameters) are valuable metadata associated with a given build that would be useful to display, alongside the compiler name / version in use.
It's actually the less hackish way. As it handles the eventuality that the version of Python that the tools are using will be different than the one being tested for BPL. And would also account for multiple versions being tested in the same b2 run.
I'd agree with this, if we can make it part of the test.
However, it might be nice to include some more information automatically in the comment html file, just like we do with the command that is executed.
For debugging purposes it might be nice to see: contents of the user-config.jam file, version of python that run.py is executed with, actual version of the toolsets being used (can we get this from bjam?).
I would avoid including user-config.jam or system-config.jam in the uploaded information. They are "private" files and may contain confidential information. And hence we would be liable for posting such information on a publicly accessible location. We can definitely include version information though. And maybe scrape the --debug-configuration information from BB and put it in the info (it should have the toolset information). -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
