[boost17x] : python issues in the post-destroot

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

There are 2 issues related to Python in the port:boost17x ports:

• the glob expression assumes that a python variant has always been set. This need not be the case, in which case glob will raise an error. Instead, glob -nocomplain should be used (as an alternative to tracking if a python variant has indeed been set).
• I don't think it's appropriate to create libboost_python3-mt.dylib when using the +python27 variant.

Thanks Rene, will commit the Python fix shortly.

Michael, reopening this, as Rene's second item hasn't been resolved yet. ("I don't think it's appropriate to create libboost_python3-mt.dylib when using the +python27 variant.")

Speaking of which, can you speak to that? Sounds reasonable to me, but wanted to get your thoughts.

@macsguy My bad! I should have read through the issue more carefully!

I'm in agreement to not create create libboost_python3-mt.dylib when using the +python27 variant ... that's just wrong!
