You misunderstand.  I don't want someone to build libproxy without
Python support, then have that break a dependency down the road.  If
Python is to be made optional, I'd rather it be removed from libproxy
altogether, and put into a libproxy-python port.  That may, people that
need Python support can simply build that submodule.  This is akin to
how libproxy-mozjs works.
