there are at least two old threads on the subject, where you can get a bit 
more background, the more interesting is the one with subject: Python Module 
Build in april this year.

you may try the following:
edit the setup.py script in the root directory changing:
LIBRARY_DIRS = ["./libs"]
to
LIBRARY_DIRS = ["./.libs"]
on line 69 (yes, this was a brain-not-found kind of error on my part back in 
april... sigh! and i think i don't have cvs write access anymore).

then:
$ ./configure <...> --without-python 
$ make 
$ python setup.py build
$ su root "python setup.py install"

please report to the list if this finally works.

cheers,
alessandro
