[Scons-dev] SCons and Python 3

[Russel Winder]

The people I am currently doing a series of Python workshops for (*) are
using SCons. They cannot move their Python activity from Python 2 to
Python 3 because of a "one version of Python" rule and the fact that
SCons only currently works with Python 2.

I have suggested they chip in £50,000 to fund one or two people working
full time to finish the Python 3 port of SCons, and whilst they didn't
immediately say "no", but rather "hummm…" the best we can hope for is
someone's time for 1 day a week for a period.

Given the current development state of SCons I think we should go out
actively with a begging bowl trying to find cash resources to hire
someone.

This would however require the SCons Foundation to be competant to sign
contracts and have a bank account. Is this currently the case? Are the
controllers of the foundation active?

Thanks.
