Hi Bill,
Thank you for your reply. I updated pip, but scons is still broken:

The following workaround fixes the problem
export SCONS_LIB_DIR=/cluster/apps/python/2.7.14_cpu/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/scons-3.0.1
This is not my preferred solution as I would like to avoid setting environment variables for all users that use Python on our hpc cluster if it is only required for Scons.
The issues arises from line 157 in /cluster/apps/python/2.7.14_cpu/bin/scons:
temp = [os.path.join(x, 'lib') for x in prefs]
Because of adding "lib", to the guess for the path of the scons files, scons searches in
/cluster/apps/python/2.7.14_cpu/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/lib/scons-3.0.1
instead of
/cluster/apps/python/2.7.14_cpu/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/scons-3.0.1
After changing
temp = [os.path.join(x, 'lib') for x in prefs]
to
temp = [os.path.join(x, '') for x in prefs]
scons does not show this error any more:
[sfux at lo-login-02 bin]$ scons
scons: *** No SConstruct file found.
File "/cluster/apps/python/2.7.14_cpu/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/scons-3.0.1/SCons/Script/Main.py", line 924, in _main
[sfux at lo-login-02 bin]$
I will use this workaround as it avoids setting environment variables. It is clear to me, that this only fixes the problem on our system, and maybe for other sites there is a different solution required.
Would it make sense to open an issue on github to share my findings, as it seems that many people are facing this problem ?

Sam,
Try:
# update your pip and wheel package there have been significant changes since py 2.7.14
pip install -U pip wheel
Then retry installing scons.

Hi,
I installed scons 3.0.1 with the command
pip install scons
on our hpc cluster, using Python 2.7.14. The installation seems to be pretty broken:

You are using pip version 9.0.3, however version 18.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Is this a known problem ?
Can scons be installed with pip without using a virtualenv ?
Best regards
