Catalyst built with CATALYST_WRAP_PYTHON=ON results in requiring Python

The problem:

  • Catalyst built with CATALYST_WRAP_PYTHON=ON.
  • My simulation code does not require or use Python and only plans to use the C++ bindings for Catalyst. Now, find_package(catalyst 2.0 REQUIRED) results in looking for Python. This is problem in my world since I build my simulation in a container which doesn't have Python.

Workaround was to disable python wrapping in my Catalyst build. However, I'd argue that catalyst-config.cmake is incorrect. I simply don't see why these lines must be present.
