The problem with python is that it is an exotic language and
hardly installed anywhere (not everyone runs Linux). Just
requiring it for a buildconf run seems excessive to me.
Anyway, I have rewritten Perl scripts to reduce buildconf
requirements, doing the same with Python scripts should not
be any harder. :-)
