So in order to need just a single Python installation for being able to contribute to this project, i took the branch https://bitbucket.org/userzimmermann/scons, built a scons-local package from that and integrated that into our repository. That works quite well with PYthon 3.3, although we sometime experience problem when doing parallel builds (e.g -j4) - Scons is trying to access a build target while a custom builder still has a handle open for that file. But since we are using a 'hacked' version of Scons, i will surely not complain.

The branch that we are using is not my work - i only contributed a tiny commit.
It is maintained by Stefan Zimmermann (https://bitbucket.org/userzimmermann/scons).
I just grabbed the state of that branch in March of this year. I think it has already
been integrated into python3-port by Gary:

@Russel: Sorry that initially i sent this answer directly to you.
