I don't have boost/libs/python/quickstart:

C:\Users\Daniel.SBG\Programming\boost_1_41_0\libs\python>dir /B
build
doc
example
index.html
pyste
release_notes.txt
src
test
todo.html
todo.txt

Neither the example nor the quickstart folders contain test_extending.py:

C:\Users\Daniel.SBG\Programming\boost_1_41_0\libs\python\example>dir /B
boost-build.jam
getting_started1.cpp
getting_started2.cpp
Jamroot
project.zip
quickstart
README
std_pair.cpp
test_getting_started1.py
test_getting_started2.py
test_std_pair.py
tutorial

C:\Users\Daniel.SBG\Programming\boost_1_41_0\libs\python\example>cd quickstart

C:\Users\Daniel.SBG\Programming\boost_1_41_0\libs\python\example\quickstart>dir /B
bin
boost-build.jam
embedding.cpp
extending.cpp
Jamroot
script.py

Am I looking in the wrong place?
