That project looks not that maintained and graph-tool [1] is based on
boost as well, so I don't see the advantage in choosing bgl-python over
graph-tool.

The point is, that I am not sure if using graph-tool has any advantages
over networkx at all. It looks like a great library, supports filtered
graphs which I find pretty useful, but have not used it yet.
