SCons script to automatically build LaTeX documents

I already know python and I didn't want to have to learn Make and bash in order to build my LaTeX documents. SCons seemed like a nice replacement, especially since SCons can build LaTeX in two (possibly less) lines.

env = Environment()
env.PDF("main.tex")

This SCons script is inspired by Jason Hiebel's LaTeX Makefile.

The goal of this project is to be easy and lightweight. Installation should be as simple as adding this repo as a git submodule to your project. All of the typical things you would want to do should be built-in; for example, building and then displaying a PDF. A design goal is to eliminate the dependencies required by this script.
