I use bootstrap.py as my day-to-day production tool, I never actually
install SCons from a clone of the repository. I only ever use package
management to install from Debian or Fedora repository packages.

Debian currently package SCons 2.3.0, I can't get to Fedora 20 at the
time of writing, but the Fedora project package site says 2.3.0.
