Are you able to build other libraries? I never needed Boost.Python, and
I can't help you with it. But I was able to compile boost.signals and
other libraries.
msvc.jam doesn't use most of autodetection methods v1 toolkit uses. So I
specified using msvc : 8.0 ; in user.config and had to run vsvars32.bat
manually before running bjam --v2
