> Why does need python?

It's used by the build system. It's also used to "print code" when statically
generating specialized kernels (non-JIT). The latter is not used by the way the
library is built for general distribution, but the former is (used by the build
system).

There is also the "build key" called PYTHON, which allows to specify the Python
interpreter e.g.,
$ make PYTHON=python3.4
(Btw, the Python scripts are scrubbed to be compatible with Python 2.4-3.x.)

In a narrow sense, Python is not needed after the library is built. However,
from a (library-)user's point of view there is also some sample code
(samples/pyfr), which relies on Python...
