Hi All-- The trouble with requiring a minimum of 2.7.x on all platforms is that it would be problematic for people on CentOS, Redhat and related distros earlier than say, CentOS 7. 7 has 2.7, but 6 has 2.6 (and not the latest version, either). Anyone who wanted to use CentOS 6 would have to install Python 2.7.x to use Scons. Might not want to do it, or would go with an earlier version.
