I think the check work properly but it needs clearer message.
Here is a suggested lists of Python packages: numpy, cython, matplotlib,
tkinter. If your python version does not has those, the a Python
distribution from Anaconda will be suggested.
If you or user do not want to use Python, it's just to say 'N' to skip the
step.
We (Case group) are exposing AMBER to external programs like Phenix or
Rosetta via Python so there are still audience for it.
