I agree.  Unfortunately, when I tried building Boost 1.44 (just
uploaded to experimental), it failed to build Boost.MPI.  I posted the
build failure to the Boost list [1] but no response yet.

I'd appreciate help in tracking down the problem.  You can find the
Debian package sources in svn [2].  The following patch adds
support for Python 3.1.

Thanks,
