Desktop environment without Python dependency
I'm looking for a desktop environment without Python dependency unlike Unity and GNOME. Because I don't want to get in to any trouble like this link.

There are couple of minimalist desktops that don't depend on python.
One is blackbox. If you run apt-cache show blackbox | grep -i pyth, you can see there's nowhere for python to be listed.
Another is openbox. If you run the same command you can see this:
apt-cache show openbox | grep -i pyth
Recommends: obconf, python-xdg
Suggests: menu, fonts-dejavu, python, libxml2-dev, tint2, openbox-menu, openbox-gnome-session (= 3.5.2-6), openbox-kde-session (= 3.5.2-6)
Python there is recommended but not required.
Same with xubuntu-desktop. apt-cache show xubuntu-desktop | grep -i pyth shows nothing. Also, razorqt-desktop.
You can install any of those desktops with sudo apt install or sudo apt install and add desktop name. Use apt-cache search <name> to ind the desired desktop in the available repositories
