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.

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.
Please provide a bit more information in the commit message (e.g., why is the change necessary?).
One comment says "EUPS has a bug". Please reference the bug report.

One comment says "EUPS has a bug". Please reference the bug report. Merged with update comment on installation of UPS dir and with expanded commit message.
Progress on porting Scons to python 3 by the Scons development team has been somewhat slower than expected. I am monitoring the situation.
