[Scons-users] Is it possible to use Copy Action Functions outside of SConscript?

[Pierre-Luc Boily]

But then I have : NameError: global name 'Copy' is not defined:

And I can`t use env.Copy, because it refers to a deprecated function.

I really think it is related with the fact that  def
compile_idl_files(env): function is outside of my SConscript.
