I just did a default no-tasks selected debian wheezy system and no version of python was installed. Using a cowbuilder wheezy & sid chroot I decided to see what python the tasks from tasksel install. (e.g. apt-get -s install task-web-server | grep python) Tasks: task-desktop (with --no-install-recommends): no Python task-gnome-desktop: (wheezy Python 2.7) (sid both Python 2.7 & Python 3.3) task-kde-desktop: (wheezy no Python) (sid Python 2.7) task-lxde-desktop: Python 2.7 task-xfce-desktop: no Python. task-web-server: no Python task-print-server: no Python task-database-server: no Python task-dns-server: (wheezy no Python) (sid Python 2.7) task-file-server: Python 2.7 task-mail-server: no Python task-ssh-server: no Python task-laptop: no Python Looking at the lists of packages suggested by apt-get it seemed like only Gnome that wanted lots of python packages.
