Are you saying you want to make it so Linux will no longer compile on a build machine that doesn't have Python installed? If this is merely an extra developer tool ala bloat-o-meter and checkpatch.pl then it's merely uninteresting to me. (I myself wrote a quick and dirty http://kernel.org/doc/make/menuconfig2html.py to generate http://kernel.org/doc/menuconfig/x86.html and friends years ago, and I still run it to update that once in a while. There's not much to it.) But adding new prerequities to a build machine would be really annoying for my use cases.
