Some interesting functionality like "topdown analysis" and some metrics collection only work with python support, and are silently unavailable otherwise. I see little downside to enabling python support, and it'll make the overall user experience better.
I agree, feel free to do it, otherwise I will do it likely tomorrow. Thanks for reporting. Cheers,
