I think this is a consequence of the latest boost packages being done in
a side tag for:
  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/F18Boost150

Currently, the latest boost build in f18 seems to be:
boost-1.48.0-16.fc18
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=326854

whereas the latest boost build is in "f18-boost":
boost-1.50.0-1.fc18
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=344226

The commit for boost 1.50:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/boost.git/commit/?id=a2450339dffbaadf0e31879429cc026862ec2439
seems to have dropped the python3 subpackage which confused me and my
scripts.

It's not clear to me that anything actually uses boost-python3
[david at f18 ~]$ repoquery --whatrequires boost-python3
boost-0:1.48.0-16.fc18.x86_64
boost-devel-0:1.48.0-16.fc18.i686
boost-devel-0:1.48.0-16.fc18.x86_64
where "boost" is an "umbrella" package that pulls in all other boost
components so presumably when the new boost hits f18 properly this issue
will go away.  Or maybe I'm misreading this.

In the meantime, it looks like my Python 3.3 rebuild has broken "boost"
installs in f18 buildroots until the boost-1.50 build lands in f18.
Sorry about that.  Is there an ETA for when the boost stuff will be
merged?

Hope I'm correctly characterizing this; thanks to rdieter for help with
this on IRC.
