But the question was about Debian 9. Anyway 10th ships with Python 3.6
https://packages.debian.org/buster/python3 and SCons 3 with python2 as
dependency, which is most unfortunate, because SConstructs will start
to break not when SCons switched to next major version, but when next
Debian hideously updates dependency to python3. =/

But at least Python 3.5 can be forgotten.

2.7 +1 == 2.8 =)
