Most people will write SConscripts for the python version they're using, whether it's 2 or 3. So those people won't care at all. When the 2 users port to 3, they'll have more problems than just their SConscripts to worry about; probably the SConscript changes will be small compared to their other changes. And of course if people use python3 features in their SConscripts, python2 users won't be able to use them. Sure, there will be some things to keep in mind like unicode string handling and print functions, but I bet a large majority of simple SConscripts will "just work" or at least a simple 2to3 run will get them close. If we can create instructions like you're talking about, things to do or things to avoid, and put those on the wiki, that would be excellent. We'll probably have to have some experience before we can do that well though. -- Gary
