Out of curiosity, was this ever discussed among Python developers? Would something like scons qualify for this? OTOH, scons opens nasty self-bootstrapping issues (being written itself in Python). Before considering a patch (or even a PEP) for this, the basic requirements should be made clear. I know portability among several UNIX flavours is one, for instance.
