Add Python to Linux dependencies

Bug report

When installing the Hyperion on a generic linux - DietPi (https://dietpi.com/) in my case (which is based on Debian Bookworm) the installation went just fine but still I wasn't able to figure out why my installation doesn't work. After tinkering a little bit I noticed that hyperiond cannot start because Python dependencies weren't met. After installing the Python via dietpi-software everything started to work just fine.

In other words - I think that Python should be added to the dependencies for the Linux distros that don't install it automatically.

Steps to reproduce

Install Hyperion.ng using official script for Debian

What is expected?

Hyperion will start working just fine

What is actually happening?

Hyperiond doesn't start because the DietPi doesn't install Python by default as its a minimal Linux distro.

Don't know if this is the same error I ran into since a few days now but if hyperiond try to start on my Kubuntu 24.04 it crashes with

Hyperion caught signal :SIGSEGV

Which Python version have you build and run with?
I know that there issues with Python 12.
Try Python 11

Installed Python3.12.3 and installed 3.11 beside now. Seems to work.
I can start Hyperion from shell and menu.
