Oops, the last two messages didn't make it to the list. Resending.

My build script is a MacPorts Portfile which will be difficult for you to understand unless you're quite familiar with the Tcl programming language, what behaviors MacPorts uses for each port by default, how it responds to different options being set in the Portfile, and the behaviors implemented in the python-1.0.tcl portgroup, an include file that abstracts away the details of building python modules.

Fortunately, the problem can be reproduced outside of MacPorts on the command line using the build command I gave earlier.

With 4.7.0:

% tar xf SCons-4.7.0.tar.gz
% cd SCons-4.7.0.tar.gz
% mkdir out
% python3.12 -m build --no-isolation --wheel --outdir out
% unzip -l out/SCons-4.7.0-py3-none-any.whl | grep 1$
 24954  03-18-2024 00:34   SCons-4.7.0.data/data/scons-time.1
693084  03-18-2024 00:34   SCons-4.7.0.data/data/scons.1
  6427  03-18-2024 00:34   SCons-4.7.0.data/data/sconsign.1

With 4.8.0:

% tar xf SCons-4.8.0.tar.gz
% cd scons-4.8.0.tar.gz
% mkdir out
% python3.12 -m build --no-isolation --wheel --outdir out
% unzip -l out/SCons-4.8.0-py3-none-any.whl | grep 1$
