Heh, lucky you. :)

I try to run them all as part of the fedora builds since they cover much more than I'd ever use. That's the main reason I noticed the bare python. That would trip me up when it came time to build on a near-future fedora where python isn't installed by default and I only wanted to require python3 for the build/runtime scripts.

Yep, that's certainly even better and if Jeff H. can use perl relatively easily (or one of the many perl folks here can help with that part of the test), that's great. The best way to solve many problems is avoid having them. :)
