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

[Bill Deegan]

Doesn't work with python < 2.7 or >= 3.0
You'll have to install python2.7 for now.
The 3.0 port is a work in progress, hopefully be ready in a week or so.

Surprised it even ran at all, it should check for python version.

How did you run it? (command line )
