 Replying to [comment:6 drkirkby]:
 > In the case of ATLAS for example, there's a trivial Python spkg-install
 which calls a huge bash script. I'd like to see that trivial bit of Python
 converted to a shell script, then we could remove the Python dependency.

 Ouch...

 I believe I've never before looked at Sage's ''ATLAS'' build scripts. (I
 did not even know the repetition of build attempts originated from Sage
 itself.) There are ''three'' Python and some (sub-)shell scripts, and
 there's even a Perl script. 8|

 This should '''really''' be cleaned up, IMHO by completely rewriting
 {{{spkg-install}}} from scratch, as a plain shell script.
