Is there a 'make' replacement written in python ?

I'm looking for a replacement for the 'make' command
similiar to Cons :

Also the concepts of Cons look promising to me it is written in perl and
the build rules are specified in perl.
As we all know perl sucks and python rules ;-)

Therefore something like Cons written in python would be really cool.

While the Python distutils don't fully intend to replace 'make', the
distutils do have code for platform independent building of C
extensions, so some basic make facilities are included.

I'm sure that code can use more work, so you're very welcome to join the
distutils SIG if you're interested. :) Inspiration from other make
replacements like 'Cons' is of course very welcome.

Martijn

Some years ago, Samuel L. Bayer posted a pymake.
Unfortunately, dejanews does not keep the uuencoded
