> 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.
The files in question are 100% unrelated to the parrot build process. They
are extensions to GDB (written in GDB's extension language, python) and
have no effect for people with no python or for people with a GDB that
doesn't support this type of extensions.
They are the debugging equivalent of the emacs mode we ship in the
distribution. This doesn't introduce a dependency on python any more than
parrot.el introduces a dependency on emacs.
