[Scons-users] Scons script stopped working - error: The system cannot find the path specified.

[Zarko Coklin]

Hi all!


Long story short, I work on a project and it uses Scons to build the SW. On my PC I was using it for a long time. It worked just fine. Lately, some change has happened on my PC and now when I run Scons from Python and invoke os.system() it keeps failing. The error reported is somewhat cryptic: 'The system cannot find the path specified' error. Very annoying!


For example, if the Python file invokes:

os.system("scons --version")


The output in DOS is:

The system cannot find the path specified.

I am using Pyton 2.7.3 and Scons version 2.2.0. Anybody has any idea what path is in question and how to debug the problem? Help is very much appreciated.
