I've never considered compiling without python because its so pervasive. You can't 
really have a functioning system without it inless its an appliance. And would you 
want an appliance doing compiles? 

You can certainly separate it out after compile in the packaging portion so that 
installing it doesn't drag python in. I suppose the configure and Makefiles can be fixed 
so it does not make python bindings.
