Here's a fix that I think would work to make the Python dep optional:
$ sed -i.bak '/PYTHON=":"/d' configure
$ diff -pu configure{.bak,}
--- configure.bak 2006-07-26 11:03:59.000000000 -0700
+++ configure 2007-04-13 08:59:42.000000000 -0700

test -n "$PYTHON" && break
done
-test -n "$PYTHON" || PYTHON=":"
fi
am_display_PYTHON=python
Then the error won't be caught. I personally like the suppression of
device-manager in SUBDIRS, but it sounds a little strange.
