[Scons-users] Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec (Windows)

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

I did some searching and briefly thought it may be an issue with
Python for Windows but that does not seem the case - I am able to
invoke the interpreter directly with no issue
(https://bugs.python.org/issue27054).

Any thoughts?
