I followed the install instructions and got to apio upload
PS C:\work\nandland\go-board\Blinky> apio upload
[Thu Apr 4 15:47:33 2024] Processing go-board
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Command not found:
(['scons', '-Q', 'upload', 'fpga_arch=ice40', 'fpga_size=1k', 'fpga_type=hx', 'fpga_pack=vq100', 'top_module=Test', 'prog=iceprog -d i:0x0403:0x6010:0', '-f', 'C:\\Python310\\lib\\site-packages\\apio\\resources\\ice40\\SConstruct'],)
Ran as normal user and admin, same result
IIt seems that the 'scons' command is not found.

What happens when you run
sconsfrom the command line? -
When you run
pip freeze, do you see a line with 'scons' ?

should I have an executable called scons somewhere, I do not have one anywhere
This is what I see on my system (Mac OSX)
The version is similar to yours.
$ pip freeze | grep -i scons
SCons==4.2.0
The scons binary is here
$ which scons
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/bin/scons
This is how I find the pip directory package
$ pip show SCons
Name: SCons
Version: 4.2.0
Summary: Open Source next-generation build tool.

The documentation of scons is here https://scons.org/doc/production/HTML/scons-user.html#sect-install-scons and it suggest that an installation should result in a binary called 'scons'. Is it possible that it exists but not on your path?
... this is what I see in that python bin directory
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/bin $ ls -ald sco*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user admin 222 Apr 4 19:22 scons
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user admin 235 Apr 4 19:22 scons-configure-cache
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user admin 229 Apr 4 19:22 sconsign
And the scons file contains this
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/bin $ cat scons
#!/usr/local/bin/python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys
from SCons.Script.Main import main
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
sys.exit(main())
... looking at my shell config file .bashrc, I see that I manually added that directory at some point to my path. You may need to do something similar on your windows machine. This seems to be standard python stuff so you may want to look around.
export PATH="$PATH:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/bin"
... I checked on my windows machine. The scons file is here
C:\Users\user>dir c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Scripts\scons.exe

so I was supposed to install it myself. The apio installation instruction dont mention it at all
Scons is installed automatically with apio. You do not have to install by your own. But for unkown reason it has not been installed correctly in your system, or it is not in your Path
Try to install it manually. Run this command:
pip install scons
It would be great if you could post the output. Maybe, readi.g it, we can get more information about the problem
Since SCons==4.2.0 already appears in your pip freeze output, my guess is that you need to add the Scripts directory to your path. The bug report below suggests that this is because you didn't check "Add Python to PATH" when you installed python.
