Description

Hi all,
I'm trying to `import Boost.Python` from Python 3.11 and I'm getting a `ModuleNotFoundError`:
I'm using Boost 1.82.0 on Ubuntu x86_64.

```
>>> import Boost.Python
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Boost'
```

I've built Boost.Python using the following bootstrap/`b2` commands:

```
$ ./bootstrap.sh --with-python-version=3.11 --with-libraries=python
$ ./b2 -j$(nproc) --with-python install
```

I have also tried `--with-python=/usr/bin/python3.11` on bootstrap but that also doesn't seem to work.
I have tried setting `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to `/usr/local/lib` as well (where I installed Boost.Python) but that also didn't do the trick (I ran `ldconfig` and `ldconfig -n /usr/local/lib` too).

Can anyone give us a hand?
