	I think it's a little misleading to represent python as ``1000+ files 
of dependencies''  It is, at best, one dependency, and I'd imagine it'd 
be very common to be installed on any system being used for 
development.

        Is it possible to run Ubuntu without python?

	I agree with most of what you said, and I agree that it just feels 
wrong to have to install a wrapper to use a tool because the base tool 
doesn't cover some common cases, but the problem is not so much the 
list of dependencies.  The dependencies I had for installing tla in the 
first place were much larger than any wrapper I've used to date.
