[Scons-users] SCons can't correctly install via pip when not in a virtualenv

[Bill Deegan]

Which version of python is this running under?

There are some known issues with non virtualenv pip install, I'm not sure
this is one of them.
Can you find where the SCons engine files are actually installed on you
system?
