python-bcc depends on bcc. Adding 'bcc' as a dependency of python-bcc would create a circular dependency.

If I understand correctly,

let python-bcc depends bcc
let bbc-tools depends bbc

Will not cause circular dependency/

bcc functioning solo, and doesn't need python-bcc.

Problem is that, currently, if a user install bcc-tools, some tools won't work.

bcc-tools now depends on python-bcc, fixed.
bcc is essentially libs...so nothing to fix.
