[Scons-users] pip installation directory includes the version number

[Bill Deegan]

Richard,

I can see the expectation for the released builds, but for non-released
(scons-3.1.0.alpha.yyyymmdd) would it make sense to keep the version string
as is?

Feel free to file a bug (and of course Pull Request with a fix if you can.)

-Bill
