It may not apply clearly (currently on top of my -Wno-overloaded/autoconf-archive patch) but it should be easy enough to patch manually our configure ac, re-ran ./autogen.shand see if it now correctly complains about lack of python if you remove it for a moment or ran on fresh OS install without python3 yet?

This does not fix check in guicast/Makefile for now, just hopefully warn user about potential troubles ahead if no python/python3 installed yet.

Put if check works as intended I hopefully can plumb it to guicast/Makefile.

Sorry for asking for such minor detail, but apparently I can't uninstall python in Termux, and my desktop is currently not powered yet. {having a bit of toothache in last few days, not great for concentration }
