Scons setup.py script failing - doesn't like __revision__ line

I downloaded Scons 2.5.1 to Ubuntu Linux 14.04 (Python 2.7.6). The files were extracted into directory scons-2.5.1. Running 

sudo ./setup.py install

as instructed by the README.txt file, gives an error:

: File name too long
./setup.py: 35: ./setup.py: __revision__: not found

line 35 in setup.py is:

__revision__ = "src/setup.py rel_2.5.1:3735:9dc6cee5c168 2016/11/03 14:02:02 bdbaddog"

I was looking at the script and noticed it has no #!/usr/bin/python line. Re-reading the README.txt I see that I misread it. You need to explicitly invoke Python to run the script:

sudo python setup.py install
