Description
Modify the Scons eups package such that it can be used to build a Python 3 stack.
Originally the hope was to use a Scons that will work natively on Python 3 and 2.7 but this turned out not to be possible on the timescale required.

| Status | To Do [ 10001 ] | In Progress [ 3 ] |
A test branch has been created on my personal Github area as an experiment and significant progress has been made. Unfortunately only about 50% of the tests pass and there are many fiddly areas where bytes vs strings are not being handled properly. To make progress on the rest of the Python 3 port I have switched tack to forcing python2 for SCons but python3 for execution.
Please review the branch tickets/DM-6312-usepy2 where SCons is patched to force python 2.7.

| Summary | Update Scons to v3.0 | Update Scons EUPS package to work with Python 3 builds |
| Description |
Scons v3 is the scons version that supports both Python 3 and Python 2.7. This ticket is for updating Scons and ensuring that the Python 2.7 stack still builds.
This work depends on the Scons developers delivering a new Scons by mid July. Whilst work is ongoing it may be necessary to help out with the port if we wish to meet our Python 3 target. |

Progress on porting Scons to python 3 by the Scons development team has been somewhat slower than expected. I am monitoring the situation.
