If I understand everything correctly Scons uses Python for its build 
scripts and that means an external dependency on Python?

I think that's unnecessary and I would prefer that interpreter was 
bundled with the tool i.e. linked with libpython (or similar). I think 
that will make it easier for non Linux users.

That's how I've built my package manager. It has no external 
dependencies when using a pre-compiled executable.
