[Scons-users] Callable Python

[Bill Deegan]

Jim,

I supposed you could look at the main script which runs scons (scons) and
make it work, but this type of usage has never been officially supported by
the team.

That said, please keep us informed of your progress and if there is a
reasonable way to support this perhaps we can add it.

-Bill
