  Add what you need.  The default configuration *works*.

  No.  You need to list "python" everywhere you want it to be *used*.

  That's just rude.

  The first message you posted showed a "users" file entry, and wondered
why it didn't work.  Now you say you don't want to use it.

  Figure out what you want to do.  The majority of the issues you're
having are due to inconsistency.

  Because you don't understand what it does.  If you don't understand
it, deleting it is wrong.

  "Hey, I don't understand what this widget is on my car engine.  I'll
just rip it off.  Hmm, my car no longer works.  I know... I'll blame the
mechanic!"

  You wouldn't do that to a car mechanic.  Don't do it here.
