First of all, boost.python allows extreme ease of wrapping C++ libraries
in python.
Secondly, boost makes possible a number of very nice features, i.e a 
feature which is being used in PyOSG is the subclassing of abstract c++ 
classes in python.
One disadvantage of boost is it's dependance on a very conformant C++ 
compiler.

I've been looking at SWIG some time ago and at that time it
wasn't as powerfull as boost. This might have changed, but  I like the 
fact that boost doesn't work with an IDL and I don't need the multi 
language support which SWIG offers.
