scons problem stops emerge and pip

When I installed PlatformIO, scons was replaced with a different version. Now I have a problem. Neither emerge nor pip work:

Code:

# pip install -U scons

scons: *** No SConstruct file found.
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scons-2.4.1/SCons/Script/Main.py", line 923, in _main

# emerge -s scons

scons: *** No SConstruct file found.
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scons-2.4.1/SCons/Script/Main.py", line 923, in _main

There appear to be no SConstruct files at all.
Short of restoring from backup, how can I recover?

Yes, that's what you get when you run pip as root. Never had this trouble myself, but I have seen the solution on Gentoo forums.
