How does boost.python deal with Python 3? Is it Python 2 only?

Newer versions of Boost should work fine with Python V3.x. This support has been added quite some time ago, I believe after a successful Google Summer of Code project back in 2009.

The way to use Python V3 with Boost is to properly configure the build system by adding for instance:

using python : 3.1 : /your_python31_root ;

to your user-config.jam file.
