I know we had a lot of discussions about python back earlier this year, but
I'm not sure whether this point came up exactly.
We've been doing some work installing AMBER onto very bare-bones Linux
machines and have found that python is required in order to complete the
configure process. This is true even when one wishes to use the MINICONDA
that will lie within the amber tree.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what MINICONDA is (is it not a full python
install on its own?) but it seems a little silly to me to require python to
already exist on the system when our recommended installation will, in
fact, not use it at all.
I realize that this will not impact most users and that it is trivial to
install a system-wide python, so this isn't worth spending a lot of time
on. But if there is a simple way around this, perhaps it is worth
implementing?
Thanks,
Brent
