[Scons-users] Reproducible "No module named SCons.Script" on multiple Windows installations

[Eric Fahlgren]

As Bill suggests, I've been using pip to install SCons on Windows 64 with
2.7.14.  There is an implicit dependency on the "wheel" package, so you
actually need to do two pips (at least there was with 3.0.0, I didn't
revisit that requirement when I installed 3.0.1).

> pip install wheel
> pip install scons
