Just because they reference python doesn't mean they reference this config step. Looks like the debian pkg incorrectly reports that we require python as well ("ports/debian/control.in"), and the win32 readme mentions the config step. And the test references the step. Looks safe to rip out. the references to "python" that aren't to the config module can be left alone. > kid51 >
