Research direction
Run the attached CMakeLists.txt example with the stated Boost and Python versions, then inspect boost_python-config.cmake and BoostConfig.cmake around the failing include() call. Compare the generated configuration paths with the BoostDetectToolset-1.90.0.cmake locations reported in the issue; done means find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS python) completes successfully.

Description
I first installed Python 3.14, Boost 1.90.0 and Boost.Python with Brew on my macOS Sonoma 14.4 and built a minimum working example with CMake, but it didn't work.
When I used
find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS python)
to find Boost and ran with command
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH='/usr/local/opt/boost' -DBoost_DEBUG=1
the following error occured:
CMake Error at /usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_python-1.90.0/boost_python-config.cmake:29 (include):
include could not find requested file:
/usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_python-1.90.0/../BoostDetectToolset-1.90.0.cmake
Call Stack (most recent call first):
/usr/local/opt/boost/lib/cmake/Boost-1.90.0/BoostConfig.cmake:141 (find_package)
/usr/local/opt/boost/lib/cmake/Boost-1.90.0/BoostConfig.cmake:262 (boost_find_component)
CMakeLists.txt:10 (find_package)
After checking the file system, no file named BoostDetectToolset-1.90.0.cmake was found in either /usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_python-1.90.0/.., /usr/local/opt/boost-python3/lib/cmake, or /usr/local/Cellar/boost-python3/1.90.0/lib/cmake. The only BoostDetectToolset-1.90.0.cmake file was in /usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.90.0_1/lib/cmake.
Because there is a
include(${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../BoostDetectToolset-1.90.0.cmake)
in the file /usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_python-1.90.0/boost_python-config.cmake which was auto-generated by Boost, and CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR here refers to /usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_python-config.cmake, I suppose there must be something wrong with the generator of the file.
The following are my minimum working example:
CMakeLists.txt
module.cpp
