Thanks for the clarification. 
 
I myself have no interest in OS 9, but I am glad you are maintaining it. 
 
If SCons didn't work on OS X I would feel like we have to junk it, but if 
it works on OS X, I would like to keep it. 
 
If you can't spare the time to get Mac OS X going, I am pretty sure 
somebody else will do it.

I am sorry for the confusion. 
 
As I am sure you are aware, MacOS 7-9 and MacOS X are almost completely 
different platforms.  I have not tested Scons on OS X, but due to OS X's 
Unix base (it uses Unix pathnames), I would expect Scons to work just fine 
on it*. 
 
MacOS 9 and earlier** use a different convention for pathnames and Scons 
currently does not fully support it (although Python does). 
 
I use OS 9.1 almost exclusively.  I have OS X 10.1 installed on my machine 
but I do not like it.  My wife's computer has OS X 10.2.  So I am able to 
test on those versions but I plan on using OS 9 as my primary system until 
something truly better comes along. 
 
So, I see my primary role here as being one of the maintainers of the 
Legacy 
Mac port of Csound.  I hope that I am not stepping on anyone's toes, but I 
have been trying to take on this role because it doesn't seem like anyone 
else is interested. 
 
I view deveIopment of the OS X version of Csound as a separate effort and 
just another variation on the *nix port.  I am happy, though, to assist 
with 
development on OS X as I am able. 
 
I am sorry if my comments about OS X and Python in a previous post were 
confusing.  I also tend to say just "Mac" a lot when I really mean to 
exclude OS X. 
 
Thanks for taking the time to understand the problems I am having. 
 
:)

around a little bit more now, and I have found at least two Python binary 
distributions available from third-parties which are supposedly usable on 
10.1.  Using them would require downloading and learning to use a non-Apple

SCons does work on OSX, at least, it hasn't broken for me as far as I
had gotten with it.  I believe last I tried I had gotten to a point
where SCons told me I didn't have some dependencies so was in the middle
of that, but can't tell now as compile farm is still down.
