title: Is it necessary to install Python for react-native on windows for "react-native init AwesomeProject"?
body: <p>I am trying to setup react-native on windows7.</p>
  
  <p>I have following things installed:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Windows\system32&gt;node -v
  v6.2.0    
  C:\Windows\system32&gt;npm -v
  3.8.9    
  C:\Windows\system32&gt;javac -version
  javac 1.8.0_60
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have not installed Python. When i try <code>react-native init AwesomeProject</code> only 2 things are downloaded in AwesomeProject: node_modules dir and </p>
  
  <p><strong>package.json</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "name": "AwesomeProject",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "private": true,
    "scripts": {
      "start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start"
    },
    "dependencies": {
      "react-native": "0.41.2"
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is incomplete project. ReactNative0.41 Docs says</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>We recommend installing Node.js and <strong>Python2</strong>.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Why Python is recommended with react-native? Does react-native requires python to clone the seed project?</p>
  
  <p>I have installed following things as well:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Android SDK </li>
  <li>Android SDK Platform </li>
  <li>Android Virtual Device </li>
  <li>Android 6.0 SDK tools</li>
  <li>Google APIs </li>
