It's for real:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Changes to build and runtime requirements:
* Python 3.4 or later is required to build the GNU C Library.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-announce/2019/msg00000.html
AFAIU the relevant patch is
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=c6982f7efc1c70fe2d6160a87ee44d871ac85ab0
Before that commit «Python is (was) required to build the GNU C Library
manual and to run some tests.» (and AFAIU tests was skipped if Python
was not available in the build environment)
[...]
Viva Guix! Gio'.
