The fedora-rpmdevtools package pulls in python as an essential component for a build environment. And hence you need not list python as BuildRequires when building for fedora.us. When building such a package for Fedora Core, though, listing python as a buildreq can be useful, because the minimal build environment for Fedora Core is not defined anywhere beyond the "Development" components group, which is different from mach's definition. --
