OK. Just one question: will this fail silently (as it should IMHO) when python
is not available (e.g. on Windows) ?

Doing things incrementally is a good idea indeed.
But you should try a "namespaced framework", their header installation is
quite different. There's plenty to choose from, see
`grep -w '^ *PREFIX' **/CMakeLists.txt` (zsh)
Maybe pick Attica for a simple one (simpler than KIO).

No objections -- but I'm not very good at reviewing ECM code, or worse, python
:-).
