[Scons-users] scons-4.3.0 bug reading scons-3.1.2 generated .sconsign.dblite

[Bill Deegan]

There's no (reasonable) way to make the sconsign files be compatible
between py3.5 and p2.7.
The only way to not have invalid (as in crashes scons per your original
email) is to name the sconsign files per python version.
(Which I mentioned in my previous email, and is what the commit you pointed
to).

Of course as you discovered (most likely) you will rebuild items which were
not out of date.

The recommended way is to just validate the new scons & python combination
on your build and then make the switch.
