You could probably remove that line without anyone noticing. Ninja uses Python for precisely one thing (or, at least, did last time I looked): There is a debugging mode that will generate a visualisation of all of the dependencies in the project and run a web server that allows you to view this visualisation in your web browser. In about 10 years of using Ninja, I have used this functionality precisely once, and that was immediately after poking the code to find out why it had a Python dependency, discovering this mode existed, and looking to see what it did. Nothing on the build paths depends on Python and Ninja doesn't require Python to build itself. Davidhome | help
