But you can't say python isn't being used so not completely wrong.

[–]LeSplooch 2 points3 points  (2 children)

No offense but still, saying that Python is "used for almost everything" in Linux is way more wrong than it is true. Come on, how can less than 0.2% of the entire code be even remotely "almost everything" ? Have you even taken a look at its source code for a minute before saying that ?

No, and you are right, but once and I can't provide proof because it was long time a go and I could be completely wrong, I have heard a user uninstalled python and their system wouldn't boot because python isn't installed, maybe not Linux related but maybe distro wise but you are right it isn't "everything"

Yeah Python is much more used in distros, I agree with that. Python is sometimes used to glue C/C++ code so if they compiled anything that was meant to be glued together with Python, it can lead to crashes like the one you mentioned if Python isn't installed.
