[Scons-users] Trying to fix a bug

I seemed to have found part of the cause.. I am test scons on a mount point. It seems that this breaks some of the tests for reason I don't understand. Moving the code to not run across the mnt point seems to fix the problem

I am trying to run the tests on ubuntu 16.04 (with python2.7)

I am getting this error.

python runtest.py --verbose=3 src/engine/SCons/BuilderTests.py

if (platform.system() == 'Darwin'):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'system'

It does not make any sense to me ... platform.system() does exist (it is part of the library)
Has anyone seen this before? Is there something I need to have setup/install for this to not happen? Is the testing system replacing the platform module?
