Is it possible to compile and use audit without needing python? If so, how?

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.

I've hacked together the Makefiles so that audisp does not compile
with Python, but I wouldn't necessarily advise it. My reasons were
primarily to enable audisp to be compiled under Android with limited
functionality (only the AF_Unix socket available).
Cheers,
Nathaniel

Thanks for your reply Steve. Our plan then is to install python on our
development platform and compile audit with python support so we don't
have to hack Makefiles. Then we will install audit on our network
appliance which does not have python. Do you foresee any issues with
doing it this way? What functionality do we lose by not including python?

I almost am done with hacking the makefiles. Just need to fix one thing in auparse/test
and I'll put it in svn.

semanage, I think the selinux troubleshooter, and the audit log viewer are the only
things I know of that uses the python bindings.

This should do it:
https://fedorahosted.org/audit/changeset/592
Add --with-python=no to your configure line.
