#37075: please consider adding "default_variants +python27" to boost

Component:  ports    |    Version:  2.1.2
 Keywords:           |       Port:  boost
---------------------+---------------------------
 Many MacPorts users would have the python27 port installed anyway, so
 enabling boost.python by default wouldn't make much of a difference to
 those who don't use Boost.Python. For the ones that do, it makes a big
 difference if binary packages are available. I maintain a number of ports
 that depend on Boost.Python (py-graph-tool, ompl).  Since I can't depend
 on a variant of a port, users have to compile boost and packages that
 depend on boost.python from source. They may also have to reinstall boost
 if they didn't have boost.python enabled before.
