BIND 9 contains some optional tools written in Python, in the
`bin/python` subdirectory. Python scripts are stored in the git
repository as `{toolname}.py.in`; and `{toolname}.py` will be
generated by `configure` (which determines, among other things, the
path to the Python interpreter).
Python is NOT required for building, installing, or using the BIND 9
name server. However, BIND 9 may use it for its system test
environment, and in some cases for generating source or documentation
files which are then committed to to the git repository.
