Here is the end of the configure log on my machine that has python :( :

    checking for xsltproc... /usr/bin/xsltproc
    checking for XCBPROTO... configure: error: Package requirements (xcb-proto >= 1.1) were not met:

    Requested 'xcb-proto >= 1.1' but version of XCB Proto is 1.0

    Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
    installed software in a non-standard prefix.

    Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XCBPROTO_CFLAGS
    and XCBPROTO_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
    See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Do you by chance have those src/*.[ch] files available ?

Let's hope
