Final thoughts

At this point you should have a solid understanding of how to use SCons and create SConstructs to script your Madagascar processing flows. Admittedly, SCons is somewhat complicated and difficult to understand at first, but don't give up. By using SCons, you are able to create powerful Madagascar scripts that are completely reproducible and enjoy the benefits of using a powerful build management system. However, we have not shown you the most useful aspects of SCons, which are demonstrated in the next tutorial, where we show how to integrate Python with SCons, thereby making processing flows that are even more powerful.
