'''SCons''' is a [[software development tool]] that analyzes [[source code]] dependencies and [[operating system]] adaptation requirements from a software project description and generates final binary executables for installation on the target operating system platform. Its function is similar to the more popular [[GNU build system]].

The tool generates [[Python (programming language)|Python]] scripts for project configuration and build logic.
