Re: [boost] doubts about python3 support

What I'd like is to build both python2 and python3 from the same source tree, installing the final shared libs into the same destination dir. Right now I have 2 different source trees, and build switching the one line in user- config.jam.

In Fedora, I add the Python 3 like you do, and then additionally add e.g. python=2.7 to the b2 command line. This then builds a libboost_python.so vs. Python 2 and libboost_python3 vs. Python 3. My theory is that when Python 2 to Python 3 transition is eventually done, you still want to build libbost_python (sans 3), because lots of apps will still use -lboost_python. But by that time it will be desirable to have libboost_python built vs. Python 3. Thanks, PM
