[Scons-users] Scons 4.8.0 does not reflect correct python version dependency

[Bill Deegan]

Dalton,

SCons 4.8.0 will run under Python 3.6.x, however that is deprecated (will
be disabled in the next release).
So SCons should still allow installing under python 3.6.

If you'd like to remove the warning for the time being, you'll see a note
in the release notes:
https://scons.org/scons-480-is-available.html
DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY

   - Mark Python 3.6 support as deprecated. *Use --warn=no-python-version
   to quiet the warning*.



Hmm. Didn't know anyone was still using the RPM packaging spec. We'll
update it for the next release.
