I can't see anything wrong with the aap_assign() function call, thus I
suspect the indent is the problem.  But it seems that in your message
the indents have all been removed.  This is how it should look:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
#S,configure :
libboost_python = $_recipe.LIB_BOOST_PYTHON_DIR/$_recipe.LIB_BOOST_PYTHON
:python
	# on windows, PATH is used to find dlls
	if sys.platform == 'cygwin':
		LD_LIBRARY_PATH = 'PATH'
	else:
		LD_LIBRARY_PATH = 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Notice that the first assignment should not have indent.
