Hi Leandro,

from what you're describing I think you might be on the wrong track. Can 
you please tell us exactly which "source code" you downloaded (full name 
of the archive?) and tried to install?
It looks a bit as if you pulled the full source code from the 
repository, and then tried a "setup.py install" immediately. This won't 
work, you have to "bootstrap" SCons first (this will replace the 
__VERSION__ string in all source files automatically, for example).

Please try to download and install the source tarball 
"scons-2.3.0.tar.gz" from scons.org instead. Otherwise, please have look 
in the file README.rst at sections "Executing SCons without installing" 
and "Installation".

Best regards,

Dirk
