Re: unable to install scons-3.1.2 locally from src on centos 7.9 with python3.6

Hi Dagg,

Not directly answering your question but what I've put in place (since we have to support multiple different Linuces) is to create a venv with Python 3 (I actually build Python from source so that we always use the same version regardless of distro, but you wouldn't need to) and install scons in the venv using pip. All builds are then performed within the venv.

Greetings,

I need to run scons 3.1.2 on centos 7.9 using the latest python the os has to offer (python 3.6.x) but the system's scons is bind to python 2.7.x so I', trying to install it manually.
I've downloaded the src, unpacked it, entered scons-3.1.2/src and ran the following command: python3 setup.py install --prefix=/home/daggs/newscons as the manual stats.

but the installation fails with the following error: file '/home/daggs/src/scons/scons-3.1.2/src/script/scons' does not exist under /home/daggs/src/scons/scons-3.1.2/src/script/scons there is no scons file but there is scons.po
