Python 2.6.3 apparently needs svn version of boost to work.  See http://groups.google.com/group/python-ogre-developers/browse_thread/thread/130617f8c69f1bcb#

Apparently there exist versions of boost that support python 3.  https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/website/public_html/beta/feed/history/boost_1_41_0.qbk
