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

[Bill Deegan]

William,

The logic I was looking at is in src/engine/SCons/Platform/win32.py
Where env['SPAWN'] & env['PSPAWN'] are defined.

I missed seeing the file you reference, but indeed if we're at 2.7, then
this file should no longer be necessary?
