I have fairly complete library along these lines that I have been slowly cleaning up for public release, and I could probably submit a fairly complete proposal over the next few weeks if there is interest. It's met my needs quite well over the past few years, but I think it would benefit from input from the community. Is there someplace standard for hosting/publishing extensions to boost.python that I should be aware of? What I would consider a compute Numpy interface is probably not something that should be added into the main boost.python library itself (and I think it would need it's own shared library if done properly).
