[Scons-users] unable to install scons-3.1.2 locally from src on centos 7.9 with python3.6

[Steve Hill (Wireless)]

Yes, the venv is per-user so I have a script that the user runs to create and populate the venv for them. Actually, the script that they run to invoke scons actually creates it before invoking scons and, if there is a pre-existing one, validates that it is up-to-date – updating it if necessary.

Greetings Bill,

I'm bounded to what the distro has to offer, I didn't know python36-scons exists, if it does, than most probably that this will suffice.
if not, than I'm note sure virtualenv will do as I need to export that installation to other users. if I'm not mistaken, virtualenv is per user, no?

Thanks,

Dagg

Dagg,

As Steve mentioned, virtualenv is really a good way to resolve this.

BTW. any reason you can't use a newer SCons version?
