[Scons-users] Problem installing scons via pip

[Bill Deegan]

Take a look at
https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/SimplifiedReleaseProcedure

In that process bootstrap.py eventually copies the files for packaging into
build/scons where it runs setup.py
I think it copies the scons.py to scons

I'd love to get setup.py using "console_scripts" to create the bin/scons..
etc
