[Scons-users] scons 'v fails

[Bill Deegan]

I'd check that users PYTHONPATH, if they've pip installed into the system's
python.
Something very odd is going on.
Check the md5 (or other hash) of the scons files in their system against a
known good.
Or check the strace of running scons on their system, see if they're
picking up scons python files from somewhere unexpected.
