Shouldn't this be treated as a bug then? As a user I should be allowed to uninstall the software I want to.
Or you uninstalled other things by mistake?

        Heh, yeah.  It's usually a bad idea to do stuff like that (I

            I just reinstalled Python 2.7 and I hope things are not so
            bad now when I reboot.

    Yea, It wiped out GNOME and UNITY along with a few other
    applications. It wasn't a big deal tho, I just reinstalled
    ubuntu-desktop threw apt-get. :)

It's not a bug. Ubuntu requires Python to be installed for a number of it's applications to run, and uninstalling Python will cause them to stop working. You could argue that then they should maintain a seperate install of Python to handle their core applications, but that would go against the grain of how package management is performed and how releases would need to be packaged etc.
