[Scons-dev] Would requiring Python 2.7.4 or above be a problem for future release?

[Bill Deegan]

Jason,

Trying to remove the requirement to install a separate pywin32 package.
(it's not in all distributions apparently?)
And move to using subprocess.

Do you have some advice on this?
Do you have some better code for win32 we should cherry pick?
