[Scons-dev] Why we need to release separate SCons3 for Python 3

[anatoly techtonik]

All SConstructs and SConscripts written for SCons that uses Python 2 will
not work for SCons working in Python 3.

The major feature of SCons is that you just run it and it works anywhere.
Even if people will have to port their scripts to Python 3, there will be
users (and Debian systems) who will use an outdated SCons and that will be
a usability disaster, because before EnsureVersion() will have a chance to
fire, there already will be a syntax error.

One solution will be to have scons3 command and SConstruct3, SConscript3
files.
