Well, to put it simply: you *cannot* both have the Python extension *and* disable shared libraries. --disable-shared tells libtool not to build any kind of shared object for the project; Python extensions are shared objects _only_. While you could avoid building libvirt.so (and just have libvirt.a) you cannot get Python extensions by just building libvirtmod.a. So basically --disable-shared --with-python would just produce an unusable output without my change, and produce a proper error condition with.
