Hi Nikita,

I guess this disables parts of the test suite.  That=E2=80=99s OK as a first
stab, but eventually we may want to actually fix the problem.  ;-)

Indeed.

Is there a --disable-python switch or something?  If not, you could
check whether it=E2=80=99s just a tiny little thing that needs to be patche=
d to
avoid the dependency.

Or...  you can add a package for Python.  :-)

Thanks,
