It won't normally work on linux these days because most distributions of
gnu/linux need python to run the GUI.

Put another way it means if something doesn't work how you want it, it's
just some python somewhere to change :-)


(Trust me, you don't want to remove the system version of python on most
linux distributions or on macs)
