Boost.Build Python port overall status

What works

  • Interface between Python and Boost.Jam build engine is finished.
  • Project loading and target declaration works
  • Top-level code is ported, including getting build request, loading configuration files and projects and building/cleaning.
  • A simple project with a 'make' rule loads and builds fine

Status of porting code modules

The below table documents the state of files in the 'build' directory. There, 'done' means the file is totally done, 'almost' means the file is essentially done, but maybe we tweaks are necessary as other files are ported and 'pending' is not yet there.

  • Port all of tools
