Current state of pythonPort in Boost.Build.V2

Question

I'm currently using bjam boost.build as my preference C++ building tool. But using bjam programming language is sometimes quite hard and non-intuitive to me.

Henceforth I'm waiting with impatience to boost.build.V2 Milestone 15, "PythonPort"

But even now with Boost.build Milestone 12, when I look in boost-build directories I see python files matching most jams.

Henceforth I wonder what are those files for and if there is a way to use python extensions in my bjam from the current boost.build version ?

Answer 1

If you are looking for a build tool written in Python, have a look at SCons, especially the user guide. Its configuration (SConstruct) files are actually Python scripts.
