One of my friends told me that without Python, Linux cannot get ip, cannot open network stack and can't make "port switching"...
What do you think about that, is python really must for a Linux system or it is just another tool like other interpreters, languages etc...
(also he says BusyBox is not linux, and Android has already Python inside)

Python is not mandatory for Linux, and there are plenty of small "embedded" Linux systems that don't have it.
However, many distributions require it. So RHEL may have a dependency on Python because some of their management tools and scripts have been written in it. On those systems python is a requirement.

Python isn’t necessary, and it’s easy to prove: a basic Debian installation can get on the network etc. but doesn’t have Python.
