Oh definitely agree on the non-idiomatic python. I was thinking less of "how to correctly implement and write the python code" and more of the "learn the history and decisions on why it might do things, and the user experience of defining a build in python". I really liked its consistency of repeatable build steps, the way it handled it's dependencies, and accepted the tradeoff it presented for slowness. But its been perhaps 10 years since I looked it, likely longer, and rose coloured glasses are applicable.

And nice work making SCons faster!! not at easy thing to do at all.
