Good evening Janneke,

It only depends on Python because I wasn't [consciously] aware of 
the existence of python-minimal.  Your patch LGTM.

I enabled Python support in sudo because it exists for the same 
reason that Guile does.

If we want a less hackable sudo - certainly a defensible position 
- that's fine by me.  If we do, then yes, I think Python is 
reasonable considering the alternative (C).

Python has a more impressive almost-anything than Guile so that 
means nothing.

Kind regards,
