Take a look at this:

That should work.
Forgot that by the time you're in SConstruct it's too late for this to work. (Or so it seems)

This doesn't work for me, I assigned "usw_files" to
SCons.Script.usw_files right before SConscript got called:
import SCons.Script
SCons.Script.usw_files = usw_files
SConscript(...)

and removed the import from one of the SConscript file, I got below error:

I tried but failed to use this method, as my usw_files function needs
to be different for different configs. this is partially to
work-around removing the "Return()" part in the SConscript file.If I
have a way to return things implicitly from SConscript file then I can
make usw_files() as a static API which can be put in site_init.py.

I tried to put a dummy function in site_init.py and indeed my
SConscript can see it and call it properly! thanks a lot for the tip.
Do you have any suggestion to make it easier to implement implicit
Return() from SConscript?
