Do any of you use python or another scripting language instead of a build system?

• waf

  1 - -

We use waf as a build system which essentially provides a framework for python scripts to build software. It is extremely versatile (since it is python) and has met every need we have had. We do have automation which invokes it pretty reliably, though we are not at the point of full CI yet.

  NQBP is a multi-host build engine for embedded C/C++ projects

Yes. I use nqbp which is python based build engine. It was created (among other reasons) to build small projects where the make build time to calculate dependencies was longer than a clean build. However, it main "feature" is that the day-to-day developer usage - the developer simply provides a list of directories to build for their project - no messing around with makefiles or CMake.
