If and only if you were to consider replacing SCons, take a look at

Please do not look at waf, it is worse than scons, which is why it was
removed from Debian.
At PyCON DE, some people also recommended a look at "waf". I don't know
it at all.
I understand it can be frustrating to work with these upstreams. I don't
know much about these tools. Nuitka uses Scons and that is all of my use
of both tools. I years ago failed once to integrated DEC Ada compiler
into Scons.
I found thought that Scons for Nuitka gets the work done pretty well. It
has a strange dependency on non-ctypes for Windows, which is why I have
a patched inline copy that I on that platform to make it use ctypes instead.
I expect a Debian package to simply remove that copy. I will add it to a
"for packagers" documentation section that this ought to be done.
My need in Nuitka is to not me manage building, compilers, flags, etc.
myself, and while at it, to be standard enough, to make it easy for
guys, to change things.
But generally, the Scons file needs no changes from the user. I do not
make people use Scons notice. I call it with a build file that has
parameters and it finds things on its own.
I expect that if I get the correct hints, that because of the small
amount of dependencies (scons, lxml enables XML dumps of internal tree),
it ought be easy to package. Have a look at my "finding my files" problem.
I don't understand pkg-resources documentation well enough, to detect
where it has the solution I am seeking. I want the same source to run
from extracted .tar.gz and to run from installed system.
Yours,
Kay
