Of course,… CentOS, RHEL, Scientific Linux, etc. don't come with SCons so it has to be installed. Is it a hardship to have to install a version of Python as well as SCons? Not really, especially on these systems. Although the main repository doesn't have Python 3 necessarily, there are "add on" repositories for these distributions that certainly do. So it is just package management, unlike for SCons :-) -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
