Russell — I’m taking a look again at python3 scons. Am I now meant to be looking at the default branch for scons on bitbucket? Is there work happening on a new branch anywhere?

I’ve had a go at futurize -2 but there’s an issue in the boostrap.py importing that I need to look at (importing of rpm as a namespace). I’m just asking to ensure I’m looking at the right current state of python3.
