[cctbxbb] Boost Python 1.56

[Richard Gildea]

Hi,

Is there any good reason not to move straight to the latest release, 1.60.0, assuming that everything builds/tests pass etc with that version? If we’re putting in the effort to move to a new version it makes sense to try the latest version, rather than some intermediate.

Cheers,

Richard
