I would actually be also surprised if it works. However, the option I
think is important to keep is to be able to build lldb-server without
python around. Nobody uses the lldb client on android (in fact, I'm
pretty sure it doesn't work), but lldb-server is used there. Getting a
working python for android is hard, and it seems counterproductive to
ask somebody to do it, when lldb-server does not even use python.
If we can factor the code in such a way that code requiring python is
not built/used when building lldb-server, then making python support
mandatory for the rest seems reasonable to me.
