Neil Schemenauer e89f86b74f Update Linux CI scripts, more Python versions.

Update scripts to use actions/setup-python to install different Python
versions.  Add run-faber.sh and get-py-env.py scripts.  Add
test-ubuntu-py-ver.yml CI script to test with different Python versions.

meta

[skip ci] Add "cxxstd" json field. The "cxxstd" json field is being added to each Boost library's meta json information for libraries in order to specify the minumum C++ standard compilation level. The value of this field matches one of the values for 'cxxstd' in Boost.Build. The purpose of doing this is to provide information for the Boost website documentation for each library which will specify the minimum C++ standard compilation that an end-user must employ in order to use the particular library. This will aid end-users who want to know if they can successfully use a Boost library based on their C++ compiler's compilation level, without having to search the library's documentation to find this out.

Synopsis

Welcome to Boost.Python, a C++ library which enables seamless interoperability between C++ and the Python programming language. The library includes support for:

References and Pointers
Globally Registered Type Coercions
Automatic Cross-Module Type Conversions
Efficient Function Overloading
C++ to Python Exception Translation
Default Arguments
Keyword Arguments
Manipulating Python objects in C++
Exporting C++ Iterators as Python Iterators
Documentation Strings

See the Boost.Python documentation for details.

Hint : Check out the development version of the documentation to see work in progress.

Building

While Boost.Python is part of the Boost C++ Libraries super-project, and thus can be compiled as part of Boost, it can also be compiled and installed stand-alone, i.e. against a pre-installed Boost package.

Prerequisites

Build

Run

faber

to build the library.

Test

Run

faber test.report

to run the tests.
