Coke, This has been come up a couple of times either on list or on #parrot. And the same question has been raised about config/auto/m4.pm.
Other things being equal, I'm in favor of this. Hey! Two fewer config steps to have to maintain or test! But then I grepped for the string 'python' (upper or lower case) in the distro and came up with the list of files attached. Before we remove config/auto/python.pm, we should assess what the impact would be on each of these 81 files -- which includes a lot of source code. kid51
