Without looking further into it, did you install the python-dev
package? ./configure will disable the Python bindings if it cannot
find the required files. But actually when you explicitly specify
--with-python then ./configure should fail when something is missing.

Did the summary at the end of the ./configure run say "Python: yes"?
