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
I believe that this actually exposed a problem that already existed rather than directly causing the problem.
(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 fixed this in https://github.com/boostorg/build/commit/0dacbc3df69fbbb443f1ecaa0ee57c0157d... but it didn't get merged to the release branch yet.
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 ?

error: Unable to find file or target named error: 'python_for_extensions' error: referred to from project at error: ''
--without-python Is Python enabled by default?
