Anything python is certainly _not_ suckless, or we'll end up like any
mainstream distro: to get the "full" experience for the "end-user",
7328748239473892473289 different scripting engines are _required_ (python2,
python3, javascript, perl, guile, swift, ruby, lua.....). That is not suckless,
this is a pile of fat slimy shit.
(and the SDKs for devs are just disgusting, starting with the autotools, which
are the products of sick brains).
