Thanks. "Made with Love in Ukraine" :)

Could you put this information in alphabetic order (between "openEHR" and "PowderToy" projects)?

<a href="http://platformio.ikravets.com">PlatformIO</a> is a cross-platform code builder and the missing library manager. See <a href="https://github.com/ivankravets/platformio/tree/develop/platformio/builder">SConstruct</a>.

I've been monitoring this pull-request https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons/pull-request/113/fix-for-bug-2769-which-should-allow-scons/diff for several months. Do you have any plans to fix this issue?

Thanks a lot for your efforts. It would be easy for end embedded developers to use simple command for install PlatformIO, like,

$ pip install platformio

According to it, I created additional "Installer Script" named "get-platformio.py" which installs PlatformIO from PyPi and SCons from RAW SOURCE FORGE. Now it looks like:

$ python get-platformio.py.

See https://github.com/ivankravets/platformio/blob/develop/scripts/get-platformio.py


-----

Who does maintain PyPi SCons package? Where we can find "bdbaddog" ? :)

It would be nice to see here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SCons the latest version of SCons :)


P.S: I understand that SCons dev-team are not interested in PyPi, but many people can't use it when install via PIP or include in "dependency" list. To my mind, the SCons is #1 in "Software Builder" category which is written in Python. We are waiting for new release with PIP support and for updated package in PyPi :-)
