Because with the exception of your unique situation in which you have a machine which is stable enough to compile a kernel on and develop but can't run python, it's not a problem.

Tom, i think Jes wanted to tell that basically
there _are_ the cases when python hurts, so
losing the freedom not to install python is not
good.

And you told him that his case is not looking good,
so Jes miss the whole point. Bad logical chain.

What I'm saying is that the cases where you somehow don't have the room to toss in a stripped down python, but do have room for gcc and the kernel sources + compiling them are freakishly rare, if they do exist.
