I fail to see this... In the case of MacCVS it's simple: if there's no 
framework Python installation you get no scripting capabilities. In the 
case of the Python OSA component I'm not sure what happens, but it 
doesn't really matter: the Python OSA component should be considered an 
integral part of the Python distribution (and we also don't really care 
what the IDE does if Python isn't installed).
