Variables

The most effective way to combine SCons and Python is to use Python to manage important variables for your scripts. For example, if you want to test a variety of values for a certain processing Flow, then you might save the value to a variable and then let Python format it correctly for you, instead of changing the string each time you want to run a new test. You can also save all your variables in a convenient location and then easily change them to test different parameters as well. For example:

Note: variables must be converted to strings in order to be combined into the command statements. Because these variables are converted using string concatenation, there is a possibility that a user could give a value of a wrong type.
