What is SCons?

SCons is an open-source build system implemented in Python. It replaces classic 'make' build systems by using Python scripts (called SConstruct files) to define build processes. SCons automatically analyzes dependencies and rebuilds only what's necessary, using MD5 signatures for dependency checking and supporting parallel builds. It's commonly used for building software projects of any size, from small personal projects to large-scale enterprise applications, providing more features and flexibility than traditional makefiles.
