The library itself should be in /usr/local/lib/scons. Executables (scripts) in /usr/local/bin/{scons,sconsign,scons-time,scons.bat}. Scripts may be with version number, e.g. scons-2.3.0. Finaly docs in /usr/local/man/man1.

Also look for the egg file with:

$ find / -name "scons*.egg-info"

Hope that helps.

  • Windows? Python 3.5? How to do remove it once it is accidentally installed on wrong python? (scons do not work with Py3) – ljgww Jan 26 '17 at 06:53
  • All the same - remove scons from `Lib/site-packages` and `Scripts`. Windows installer suggests to install Python into `C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35`. – twil Jan 27 '17 at 09:41
  • Thanks, so manual removal from usual folders with do the trick. Luckily there is file installation list in the Python folder. – ljgww Jan 27 '17 at 14:40

I realize my answer is similar and could not be possible without the one from @twil but I found more locations to potentially clear up for.

So delete all files which are related to the python version your want to clean up.

On MacOS we have locate so let's use that.

Running locate "egg-info/PKG-INFO" | grep -i scons gives me 2 miniconda locations refering to Python 3. We do not have to clean those up by manually delete those. That is done by the conda way.

Running locate "scons-" | grep -v miniconda give me files in /usr/local/bin/scons and /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scons-. You can uninstall using pip depending on your installation location.

To find more 'scons' I had to skip

locate "scons" \
  | grep -v miniconda \
  | grep -v "python2.7/site-packages" \
  | grep -v "/usr/local/bin/scons" \
  | grep -v "/Applications" \
  | grep -v "/Library" \
  | grep -v "/Users"

finds

/opt/X11/include/X11/extensions/dpmsconst.h
/usr/local/Cellar/zsh/5.7.1/share/zsh/functions/_scons
/usr/local/share/mime/text/x-scons.xml
/usr/local/share/zsh/functions/_scons

which you have to handpick yourself for deletion. Ie the zsh file I found was not a target.

Man pages

Man pages are located in /usr/local/share/man.

I cannot find man pages:

man scons
No manual entry for scons

My lesson is always installing scons using Conda (or pip --user) not to corrupt the default MacOS python version.
