Admittedly, the latest Boost release is taking longer than what we
would have hoped (it is an overwhelmingly volunteer effort, and as
far as I am concerned, I know I was far less available to help than I
would have liked, so I can understand that others are in the same
boat...), but I can assure you that Boost is alive and well, and last
I heard the next release is indeed now at hand.
As regards the Python bindings in particular, a lot has been done,
as can be seen from messages on the c++-sig list. At any rate, it is
always possible to join Boost and download the WIP library rather
than the official release if there is a particular, urgent, need.
Bon courage
