Bazaar is written in Python and requires A Python-2 environment to be installed on a system using Bazaar. Doesn't this make Python a GNU package? At least it is a GNU required package. This mean that the success of Python is now a requirement of the GNU project. Does this mean that GNU should promote Python over other competing languages like Perl, Ruby and Guile? -- Barry Fishman
