python isn't the problem; the hub and spoke "concept" is. Ubuntu's
Ubiquity is the best GUI installer.

Ubiquity can't set up mdraid like Anaconda, but it handles btrfs
better than Anaconda.

Anaconda's partitioning spoke's so horrendous that I only use
kickstart or "yum --installroot=... ..." - or unpack a tarball created
with one of those methods.
