Above is a working version, you can see that on your system the
configure script can't find the python header files which is needed to
compile the generated code, so it skips the python tests. If you want to
debug this further look at configure.in, around line 557 starts the
python checks. Are you sure you have installed the python header files?
If you are running a linux distro, you usually have to install the
python-dev package.
