SCons and Qt Resource files
Today I've stumbled upon a bug/problem with SCons' support for Qt resource files (the ones with QRC extension).
Usually, to add a QRC to your project you add a line like this:
But - probably due to a bug somewhere in qt4.py module, the files that are referenced from inside the QRC (the actual images and stylesheets) are not added as a dependency to the build process, so when you change a CSS file, the QRC will not be rebuilt.
The snippet below parses the QRC manually, fetches the list of files inside and adds the to deps list; Python rocks.

qrcobj = programEnv.Qrc("SomeFile.qrc", QT4_QRCFLAGS="-name SomeFile")and all is well.
