I have just done the same install.
I started off with a fresh local github copy.
I installed VSCode
Installed the platformio extension
and loaded the platform.ini file.
I used the "env_default = normal_ESP8266_4M1M" to select the Wemos D1 R2 as my target after changing _4096 to _4M1M
Hit compile ... Same error as yours.
The problem was the version of Python.
I was on 3.6.2
It complains bitterly about SCons .. so I reinstalled/upgraded SCons
No luck - same result.

The way I got it to work:
Uninstall COMPLETELY python3.6.2
Install Python 2.7.16
Result: Happy days - all compiling correctly.

Not really a solution as Python 2.7 is at end of life.
But OK for now.
cheers

If it is just about making a build of your own and not really coding yourself, you may want to look at the tools/vagrant directory.
It is still a work in progress, but last night I added the option to define your own Custom.h file (copy from the included Custom-sample.h)
