We also use it to build embedding applications.  Just put
/boost/python//boost_python in your list of sources.  Or if
you want
the static library, use
/boost/python//boost_python/<link>static and
add <define>BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_MODULE to your list of
requirements... but it doesn't look like that's what
you're trying to
do.  I think your question is not in my domain of expertise.
