Hi Volodya,
I tried the generator idea - still have the same problem:
/opt/boost-build/build/generators.jam:951: in ensure-type from module
generators
error: target { t_compliance_filter.py. } has no type
The same behavior - it doesn't recognise .py files - I was getting by
simply using unit-test rule.
Which brings the next question - boost-build does have python.jam module
with some testing functionality specific to Python.
Whent I try:
using python : 2.5 : /usr/local/bin/python ;
testing.make-test run-pyd-output : t_compliance_filter.py ;
I get the following error:
/opt/boost-build/tools/python.jam:1153: in python.capture-output
*** argument error
* rule common.variable-setting-command ( variable : value )
* called with: ( PYTHONPATH : )
* missing argument value
I suspect that (1) the rule expects at least two sources and/or (2) it
works only on Windows/Cygwin, but we use Solaris.
Any further ideas?
Regards,
Alex

No. unit-test assumes that the sources is either EXE, or something
convertible to EXE. Making unit-test run whatever is passed to it
will mess up the current behaviour.
However, to get what you want you can:
1. Just use the 'make' rule.
2. Use the following:
import type ;
import generators ;
type.register UNIT_TEST_RAW : UNIT_TEST ;
generators.register-standard testing.unit-test : : UNIT_TEST_RAW
;
unit-test-raw something : script.py ;
(This presently assumes that "." directory is in PATH)
Does this help?
