Does Build Requires need python as a dependency?

Asked by Jeffery Fernandez

There is a function in your configure script to execute some python code. Is this essential? Is there a need for python during the build process?

bool exec(){
          int r = conf->doCommand("python testpython.py");
   if(r == 0)
     return true;
   else
     return false;
 }

This snippet is causing me problems when I build it under the suse build farm. so for the moment I am returning true. Please let me know what the snippet does.

cheers,
Jeffery

In fact you're right. This is not a build dependency, just an execution dependency. It shouldn't be checked in configure file maybe. I'll fix this. If you can file a bug report, this way it is sure that I won't forget. (Work is keeping me really busy recently).

Can you help with this problem?
