It transpires that if you ignore Pythons 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2, it is
relatively easy to make a single code base run with Pythons 2.6, 2.7 and
3.3. But as SCons has already declared the floor version to be 2.7, it
is easier. However it still requires person hours to achieve which have
not yet materialized. Not entirely surprising given the core team have
to earn money from sources other than SCons.

What is needed is for an organization or three to stump up some cash to
hire a few people to be able to work on it. I am confident it is not
that hard, just a lot of (possibly tedious) editing.
