See https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241463 for a attempt  
to flavor scons for python 2 and python 3.
Otherwise I don't see how new ports (wanting python3 to buid) can use  
scons while existing ports keep building using python 2 for the coming  
months.

NB: mongodb36 and 40 want scons with python 2. Mongodb42 (not in  ports  
yet) wants scons for python 3.

Regards,
Ronald.
