[Scons-users] [scons-users] Support for Python 3?

[Managan, Rob]

Another question worth asking is what do the developer's use. Gary has
answered for himself.
We just had a system update so our workhorse machines are now python 2.6
and scons 2.1.0. But one platform is still at python 2.4.

On my desktop Mac I am running Snow Leopard and therefore python 2.6. My
linux box at home is Ubuntu 10.04 which also has python 2.6.

I will note that users are asking about latex packages that are newer than
I have on any of these machines.
