What works for me:

Call the Python interpreter to invoke the scons script from the MSYS shell.  E.g.:

c:/utah/opt/Python24/python c:/utah/opt/Python24/Scripts/scons {any SConstruct options go here...}

Also, there is a trick with Python and scons having to do with what the MSYS shell does with STDIN and STDOUT. You need to invoke python with the -i option or you won't see the Python command prompt or any of Python's console output. Then too, to exit Python in this case you must import sys and invoke sys.exit().

Regards,
Mike
