Unfortunately, no. I had to make a choice on which features to push to a 
good enough quality for 0.98 timeframe, and better fortran support was 
more important than python extension builder for me (I can incorporate a 
python extension builder without touching scons sources, but fixing 
fortran support meant that my own scons was different than official 
scons, which is not good).

Having a good python extension builder is also more difficult than I 
first expected, too (you can't retrieve options for MS compilers from 
distutils, for example and I would like to support building with and 
without distutils' help).
