Antonie,

Here is a quote from gcompris configure.in:

REQUIRE_PYHTON=""
if test x$build_python_plugin = xno; then
  AC_MSG_NOTICE([Python plugin is disabled.])
else
  dnl Python interpreter is available so check for pygtk and gnome-python
  PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PYGTK, pygtk-2.0 gnome-python-2.0)
  AC_SUBST(PYGTK_CFLAGS)
  AC_SUBST(PYGTK_LIBS)
  REQUIRE_PYTHON="python gnome-python gnome-python-canvas pygtk2.0"
fi

 From gnome@ side it's possible to add WITHOUT_PYTHON knob but my past 
expirience says --without-python option is not yet well implemented in 
gcompris. Built binary complains about missied python parts and crashes 
sometimes. I'll add it when figure out what's going wrong or next 
gcompris release will fix it itself.

All the best,
Alexander.
