Try changing that to point to the python that's bundled with
lilypond.  If that one fails, then we should change the scripts or
bundle hashlib or whatever.

Well, you probably have *desires*.  But I know what you're trying
to say.  :)

Adding something to the tracker with a known workaround is
perfectly fine, but for this specific issue, I'd wait a few days
to see if the above recommendation fixes it.  Basically, as long
as we're actively discussing it, there's no point adding it to the
tracker.  If the discussion dies, then definitely add it.
