Ah - same with pkgsrc then.  But, I run into programs where the
SConstruct will only work with 2.x, and some where it will only work
with 3.x, and some where it will insist that the used python version for
the program (vs scons) has to match the scons version.  Hence a need to
install scons/2.7 and scons/3.7 at times.  It sounds like you are not
having that problem, which is lucky.

It works, except that when running the regression tests, it uses
"#!/usr/bin/env python", rather than using the version specified as
target_python.  So almost.
