Re: SCons 3.0.0.alpha.20170614 available on testpypi

O.k. it will work if you do the following:

virtualenv venv
venv/bin/pip install -i https://testpypi.python.org/pypi scons
. venv/bin/activate
scons --version

Assuming the virtualenv is the one for the version of python you wish to
use (python 2.7.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x)

However if you don't activate the virtualenv and then run:
venv/bin/scons

And the virtualenv is not for the python found via `which python`, then it
will fail with something like:
SCons import failed. Unable to find engine files in:
