986,Problem building Python modules on boost 1.34.0,CarlosEDP,René Rivera,"When trying to build a Python module from the Tutorial quickstart from libs\python\example\quickstart , I ran ""bjam --toolset=gcc release"" using mingw under WindowsXP. The following error happens:

C:\Carlos\Apps\boost_1_34_0\libs\python\example\quickstart>bjam --toolset=gcc release

The problem is in: rule python-extension unknown in module Jamfile.

After talking to some people on #boost, I changed the file:

tools/build/v2/user-config.jam

and added: using python ;

After this, the module compiles correctly.
