Unfortunately, this leads to a bootstrapping problem.  :-(  It might be
worthwhile investigating moving parts of CPython's build process to
SCons, but core Python needs to stick with make.  If you want to push
this idea forward, you'll probably need to create a proof-of-concept.

classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code -- 
not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death."  --GvR
