The big one not on this list (because not in PiP) is SCons.
- vosper 14y agoI'd never heard of this module until now. Have you successfully replaced Make with SCons in your projects?
- chmike 14y agoYes, for my personal projects. It's much better than make. But unfortunately it needs to be installed while make is preinstalled on nearly all unixes. Now I always use qt creator for my personnal projects. It's excellent.
- X-Istence 14y agoThe startup I work for uses scons for all of our projects other than Java/Python. So C++/C mainly. Without it we'd most likely still be pulling our hair out trying to deal with make/cmake/qmake/what have you...
- slurgfest 14y agowaf (a fork of scons) works on Python 3 already.
- zokier 14y agoI don't think waf could be considered a fork of scons > When Thomas Nagy decided that SCons's fundamental issues (most notably the poor scalability) were too complex and time-consuming to fix, he started a complete rewrite which he named Waf.
- wladimir 14y agoThis is why the alternative build systems seem to never catch on. Everyone rolls their own, or forks, or rewrites instead of working together to improve one enough to "disrupt" autotools (though cmake comes close enough...). A sad but common problem in open source development.
- bjourne 14y agoDoes that matter though? SCons is a standalone program and you can easily have parallel versions of Python installed.
