Don't a lot of widgets use python? It could be any of them
Does python cause problems, or do anything to make you want to get rid of it?

Python is installed by default, and i think uninstalling python might break essential system components
It is started everytime a .py file is executed, so there's little chance of not using python at all (it seems to be liked by a lot of devs nowadays)

No it's not, at least it wasn't on my unit. It gets installed the first time you install an app that has it as a dependency (such as PyGTKeditor, or certain widgets).

Running apt-cache rdepends python will show which packages depend on python (and hence pulled it in when they were installed). If that tells you that no package "python" was found, run dpkg -S python and pick the proper one (probably a python2.6 or similar).

Tip: Rather than using load-applet screenshot tool (as it shows the You have 20s...) just press Ctrl+Shift+P

butterfly installs it but doesnt remove when you uninstall it.

i tried to install it with apt-get and remove but mount points stays.
you can remove and unmount python shares and manualy remove folders but not sure if it is good idea

If I am not mistaken, 'apt-cache rdepends python' will show any repository package that depends on python - whether it is installed or not.

I suppose a nice project for someone would be to port over the deborphan tool.
