 Absolutely not!
 It _must not_ be the case that a whole subset of unneeded crap (tcl,
 X, python) is needed for a simple _mail tool_.
 
 You can still install python manually if you really want it, though
 this is a, err, Warmduscher-Tool (english word not known), since
 the fetchmail manpage is very detailed.
