 {{{sudo port install boost +python31}}} fails

 There seems to be a problem regarding the python {{{print()}}} function in
 this port for variant python31.

 [http://docs.python.org/release/3.0.1/whatsnew/3.0.html What’s New In
 Python 3.0] says:
 "The {{{print}}} statement has been replaced with a {{{print()}}}
 function"

 ----

 But for this port: [[BR]]
 * {{{Portfile}}} line 137: {{{print}}} statement is used for all python
 versions  [[BR]]
 * {{{work/boost_1_46_1/bootstrap.sh}}} line 282: {{{print}}} statement is
 used  [[BR]]

 ----

 The following steps did not help: [[BR]]
 * Change {{{Portfile}}} line 137 to call {{{print()}}} function [[BR]]
 * run {{{sudo port clean --all boost}}} [[BR]]
 * run {{{sudo port install boost +python31}}} [[BR]]

 ----

 But these steps did:  [[BR]]
 * Let {{{sudo port install boost +python31}}} fail  [[BR]]
 * Change {{{work/boost_1_46_1/bootstrap.sh}}} line 282 to call
 {{{print()}}} function  [[BR]]
 * Run {{{sudo work/boost_1_46_1/bootstrap.sh}}} manually  [[BR]]
 * Run {{{work/boost_1_46_1/bjam}}} manually  [[BR]]
 * Re-run {{{sudo port install boost +python31}}}  [[BR]]

 ----

 I do not know whether that will also work for other python versions, but I
 hope it will be helpful.

 Cheers, [[BR]]
 Tom
