Just one more thing on this, redirecting to scons-dev. I just updated my SCons build VM to Trusty (14.04) from Precise (12.04), and I get the same error Michael was seeing when trying to do a full packaging build of SCons: error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/command/wininst-6.0.exe', /usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/command/wininst-6.0.exe not included in the Debian packages.
It seems the wininst-*.exe files have been removed from the python2.7-dev package in 14.04, although they were there in 12.04. I worked around it by copying them from a Windows machine with python distutils.
