Re: Python 3 issue

Russel,

I've created a git repo in bitbucket to facilitate talking about this issue.

https://bitbucket.org/bdbaddog/scons-russel-example

And given you permissions.
The second commit should be the same as your zip file.
Going forward, it's far easier to create a throwaway repo and share it than
to pass zip files back and forth..
