I'm writing this quick - due in a meeting soon.
I believe it should be a blocker as Python is not listed as a prequisite
for building Sage. So zn_poly could fail if Python is not installed. That,
in my opinion is good enough reason.
Other reasons are
* It's a trivial fix.
* Mis-configured Pythons do exist - William's on bsd.math was one
example.
* I also happen to be aware of cases where having a Python in /usr/local
can cause Sage to mis-behave. I think I have posted a link to the ticket
on here, where this is documented. Both myself and a Linux user has seen
this.
But the main reason is simply that Python is not a perquisite. All other
issues are secondary in comparison to that.
