Hello, since r6723, Python is an optional, not required dependency of HAL. However, there might be applications in BLFS that depend on Python and HAL. Before the commit, the Python dependency was implicit, because HAL unconditionally depended on Python. This is no longer the case, so information about dependencies of some packages in the book is probably inaccurate. If you find any such inaccuracy, please fix it.
Below is the list of packages that should be rechecked for Python dependencies: multimedia/cdwriteutils/k3b.xml multimedia/libdriv/gst-plugins-good.xml kde/core/kdelibs.xml kde/core/kdebase.xml xsoft/office/evolution.xml gnome/add/gnome-volume-manager.xml gnome/add/gnome-utils.xml gnome/add/nautilus-cd-burner.xml gnome/add/gnome-mount.xml gnome/add/epiphany.xml gnome/core/gnome-applets.xml gnome/core/gnome-vfs.xml -- Alexander E.
