I would say you should just buck the autocrap trend and require SCons. Alternatively, you can check out "waf" which is very similar to SCons in its philosophy, but the entire application is just one python file that you can distribute with your code. I haven't tried waf yet, but I'm planning on eventually switching one of my projects to use it. http://code.google.com/p/waf/ http://code.google.com/p/waf/
