I understand why python is on the dependency list. But on systems that do not require python which can use python2/3 this can cause an apt installation issue stopping the whole process.
Simple enough to just have the user delete it on their own time, its just a minor annoyance but it can cause confusion for newer users and users who don't run older systems.
Changing the guide to state sudo apt-get install python; sudo apt-get git curl build-essential libtool automake pkg-config cmake would allow for a simple copy+paste of the line with no need for user interaction.
If the team deems this unnecessary please just remove post.
