Originally gnulib-tool.py was needed to deal with all the symlink resolution to find $GNULIB_SRCDIR. Both Bruno and I didn't know much about the 'import' feature of Python IIRC. The original solution involved invoking python3 with the $PYTHONPATH enviornment variable. The addition of .gnulib-tool.py means that $PYTHONPATH is no longer needed. Feel free to correct me on anything I said here Bruno. Collin
