Importing robot framwork as module results in error if building from command line on Windows

[Marc Valle]

Noticed this when trying to develop a builder for robot framework. Note everything works fine scons is kicked off from inside emacs, this but only manifests if run from the console. Not sure if this is a robot bug or Parts/SCons bug.

Reproduction steps: Work on a windows platform Install robot framework (pip install robotframework) Create simple SConstruct with just 2 lines:

from parts import *
import robot

Run script (SCons all)

Expected output:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
Parts: Updating disk
Parts: Updating disk - Done
Parts: Loaded 0 Parts
scons: Building targets ...
scons: *** Do not know how to make File target `build::' (build::).  Stop.
scons: building terminated because of errors.
Parts: Summary: 1 build failure detected during build
Node: "build::"

Actual output:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
ArgumentError: argument 2: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: expected LP_CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFERINFO instance instead of pointer to _CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO:
