I'm really surprised by the fact that nobody noticed what a
nightmare 2.6 will be with such a requirement. You can't
expect everybody to install something that's of no use for
most.
My intention isn't to diminish the importance of CML2 and the
hard and volunteer work of Eric S. Raymond. I just can't
consider Python a requirement to configure the build process
of a Kernel.
Please, consider using the actual setup if Python isn't
installed.
PS: I install Python at home to use a single application.
BTW, I compiled Python and... the curses module isn't enabled
by default. You have to edit Setup. Another possible problem
for menuconfig.
