Hello,

I am using 'mc' which requires 'glib' which itself has a dependency on 
Python. From the changelog I found that gtester-report is using Python. 
After browsing the sources I am still unsure how much of Python is used 
elsewhere in glib (e.g. regular expressions).

What is Python used for in glib? I would like to get rid of this 
dependency, but am not sure how much will break if I do so.

Regards
Markus
