You need to use -- not just - with arguments, eg --with-python

Also make sure you have python-devel RPM installed (or equivalent) and
have not disabled shared libraries when running configure.
When python-dev is not installed, configure currently (in version 0.7.5) disables the
bindings:
configure: Could not find python2.5/Python.h, disabling bindings
and final output says Python: no
When --with-python is provided, shouldn't we error out instead of disabling bindings
more or less silently?
