How to (cross-)compile boost WITHOUT python?

Question

I have a gcc 4.3.3 toolchain for my embedded device but I have no python (and don't need it).

I'am looking for a way to configure boostbuild without python (compilation and cross-compilation).

Is python mandatory ?

Must I compile every single parts but boost-python ? (I hope not).

Thanks in advance.

What I did thanks to Jupiter

./bootstrap.sh --without-libraries=python
./b2

and I got

Component configuration:

    - chrono                   : building
    - context                  : building

Look at --without-* bjam option e.g. --without-python
