Hi, I've been reading up on the SCons build tool. It's intended to work by the end-user calling 'scons' on a buildscript. However, I'd like to use it from my own python project as an imported module, and have my already-written classes use the Scons objects to take actions without an external script.
The reason for this somewhat odd question is that I don't want SCons to build the project--the project itself builds documentation (pdf/ html/xml) from LaTeX sources--my classes handle some complex configuration issues, source parsing, actual rendering, etc. What I would gain by using SCons is to let my code hand-off tasks to SCons like making and cleaning directories, creating zip files, interacting with CVS, etc. Has anyone tried this before? It seems doable, but if someone has an example that would help to shorten my learning curve. thanks, --Tim Arnold -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
