Comment(by jkeenan):
Peter, this is a long-standing policy of the Parrot project. I can
remember when we did have a configuration step, `auto::python`, which
detected Python on a user's system. However, at that point we were down
to exactly one instance of a Python program in the distribution -- the
ops-renumbering program, IIRC -- and Coke had me rewrite that in Perl 5.
If you would like us to change that policy and once again require Python
in order to build Parrot, then I suggest you post to parrot-dev. In the
meantime, these files have to come out, particularly since we're facing
our 3.0 release in less than two weeks.
Thank you very much.
