Scons in ports is 3.1.1. This can compile and run with python 2 and 3. But  
our USES=scons framework does not know how to instruct scons to run with  
which python version.

See https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241463 for a attempt  
to flavor scons for python 2 and python 3.
Maintainer of the port is rather silent. Does not accept nor reject the  
proposed solution.

Regards,
Ronald.
