At the moment SWIG is probably as close as it gets to boost.python.
It seems to me that there's a lot of overlap between SWIG and
boost.python, but it seems the latter (I haven't used boost.python,
but I have used SWIG) is more python-centric.

Another approach would be to use Rubyinline:
http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinline/

What are you trying to accomplish?
