[Baypiggies] Fwd: Companies moving to Python 3?

[William Deegan]

Thanks for the shout out!
SCons is alive and kicking, and we just dropped pre-2.7 support.

We expect to port the code to run 2.7 and 3.x in the (hopefully) not too
distant future.
We have a couple feature additions to merge and release first though.
