[Scons-users] strange File() behaviour

variant_dir = build/FFT/GCC

The summary I want to create is outside this variant_dir. The reports of 
each build/variant_dir are inside.

I put all build output objects (from the respective scons builders) into 
a list and pass it to a function create_summary(target, sources, env) I 
call via Command().

I have already a File object, thus it looked easy to me to use this one 
to read another file besides this file with File_obj.get_contents().

Do you suggest to use open(pjoin(dirname(str(node)), 'other_file'))?
