Each component's license should list its requirements, and if you do just
that much nobody can gripe.

Anything beyond that depends on the specific developers.  I'm generally
mildly annoyed when somebody gives me credit for my code, because I don't
want to endure Even More Email about it -- but then I'm older and grouchier
than anyone else you've ever met <wink>.

If you spontaneously feel compelled to add "Python Rulz!" to your own blurb,
that would be cool.  If you have to fake making it look spontaneous, it
starts to get questionable.
