If you're building stock using bjam, and it's failing, it's a bug :) See if there's anything similar at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/search?q=python&noquickjump=1&ticket= on and if not, report it.
Sorry can't help much more personally. I haven't used BPL, or Boost for that matter, in over four years. Oddly most of my apps development is outside C++ nowadays in various interpreted languages, or plain old C weirdly.
