I'm not so sure. I love SCons, but it has some unpythonic aspects to it, which (IMO) make sense as a standalone build tool, but not so much as a standard library module. I'd probably want to see some of those things improved if we were to use it to replace distutils. in PyPy we explored at some point using SCons instead of abusing distutils for our building needs, it seems to have a library part but a lot of its high-level dependency logic seems to be coded in what is its main invocation script logic in a monolithic way and with a lot of global state. We didn't feel like trying to untangle that or explore more. There does seem to be overlap between the two tools though, and it might make for an interesting sprint/project to find and refactor the commonality. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRVObXHEjvBPtnXfVAQIhQQP/esS6o+7NX/JenJcuEdvb7rWIVxRgzVEh rfZGSOO2mp6b0PgrvXjAnZQHYJFpQO5JXpWJVqLBPxbucbBwvWaA0+tgTrpnBpj9 Cs/vwlMsmk55CwSYjvl7eM0uW9aIuT9QcZxuf4j+T7dzQOL0LL2Id4/876Azcfo0 7A0dtc2oJ+U= =H1w2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
