Do you consider python scripts invoking libraries derivative works?

It can be -- that was part of my point. Good example is the GNU readline library -- this is GPL, not LGPL. So you can't call it without making your work a derivative. Or maybe you can in some cases. Again, it is not really clear by just reading the license (and the license can claim on thing, but the courts may not agree)

Requiring other people's tools in your build process doesn't necessarily make your tool derivative. Just dependent.
