### You _May_ Need `python`
51+
52+
ESP32 and ESP8266 boards have [a dependency on `python` that they don't install themselves](https://github.com/Arduino-CI/arduino_ci/issues/235#issuecomment-739629243). If you intend to test on these platforms (which are included in the default list of platforms to test against), you will need to make `python` (and possibly `pyserial`) available in the test environment.

Alternately, you might configure `arduino_ci` to simply not test against these. Consult the reference for those details.
