All options are enabled by default if the requirements for the option
are met.

Since you appear to have the python3 headers installed on your system,
--enable-python or not, the result is the same and the configuration
output at the end of the configure script should tell you as much.

To disable python3 and instead get the shell lxc-ls replacement, you
need to pass --disable-python to configure.
