How does Scons compare to distutils?

How does Scons compare to distutils? Should I ignore
it or move to it?

Yes.

Seriously, what are you doing?

distutils seems pretty ubiquitous when building Python extensions,
since it has special knowledge of the Python with which it is run, and
makes some common tasks easy. scons, OTOH, is a general
make-replacement. scons is most useful for people writing projects
mostly in compiled languages. I imagine scons has some support for
distutils.

Hey guys, here's a little question. I'm looking for something like a build system, where I can set up a bunch of jobs with dependencies, and have them run in parallel. Ideally, I'd like a system where jobs can be run in parallel, all the stdout and stderr for each job is kept in a database of some kind, jobs can be anything that can be run at a command line, and a failing job won't cause the whole run to fail. I've been looking into some...

I'm trying to build PyBison on Mac OS X, and I'm running into some problems with the distutils. Just for starters: PyBison requires Pyrex. This is not a problem, and Pyrex seems to work without problems, at least the primes sample module shows a nice 25 to 30 fold speed increase over the pure python version. I used the distutils to create the module from the primes.pyx sample, following the setup.py from the PyBison distrubution:

Hi, I just installed scons on win32 that has cygwin but uses ActiveState python. If I do "import SCons", the lib isn't found. The win32 installer seemed very complete, but the scons lib doesn't seem to be in any dir python knows about. Is there another install step I need to do? TIA, -T

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
