As part of the Debian 13 compatibility effort (#3149), the installation process for Python needs to be harmonized with the rest of the setup.
Currently, Python is installed directly within the main core installation script, even though it is not required for the core itself (only for plugins). Other dependencies that are installed by default, such as Node.js and Composer, are handled via dedicated scripts to maintain a clean separation of concerns.
Proposal:
Move the Python installation logic to a dedicated script resources/install_python.sh, aligning it with the existing pattern used for other default dependencies.
Rationale:
- Harmonizes the installation method: Python will be treated like Node.js and Composer (default installation via a separate script).
- Keeps the main core installation script clean and focused on core-specific logic.
