Comment(by vbraun):
* The development version of ATLAS currently does not work for Sage
purposes, see #10508.
* Python takes essentially no time to compile vs. ATLAS, especially if
ATLAS is going through its tuning process.
* If anything, more spkg-install scripts should be written in Python.
Its easier to maintain and avoids may common pitfalls that can make shell
scripts not POSIX-compliant. It also gives you portable functions to find
out bit width and number of CPU cores, say.
* Nowadays every distribution already comes with Python, we can just use
the system Python for building Sage.
