Description: Boost.Python Library
 Part of the Boost C++ Libraries collection.
 .
 The Boost Python Library is used to quickly and easily export a C++
 library to Python such that the Python interface is very similar to
 the C++ interface. It is designed to be minimally intrusive on your
 C++ design. In most cases, you should not have to alter your C++
 classes in any way in order to use them with Boost.Python.  The
 system should simply "reflect" your C++ classes and functions into
 Python. The major features of Boost.Python include support for:
 Subclassing extension types in Python, Overriding virtual functions
 in Python, Member function Overloading, Automatic wrapping of
 numeric operators among others.
 .

It sounds like that package needs python2.5, shouldn't this dependency 
be added ?,

Moreover, it would be nice to us (kicad dev team) to have a boost-python 
1.34.0 built on top of python 2.4 could that be arranged ?
