Things like this are usually an option of the "configure" script used to set 
the build options before compiling.

I'm a bit suprised about KOffice though, because I thought it was using the 
Kross multi-language engine. Maybe the package you are using includes Python 
scripts and therefore depends on Python rather than suggesting it as an 
option.

IIRC Kross will be moving to the KDE libs for KDE4 and applications won't have 
to decide on a certain scripting language, but for KDE3 they unfortunately 
have if they want to provide extensibility for non-C++ coders.

However, as I wrote above, such features are usually a build time option can 
the applications are usually able to build without if told so.

Cheers,
Kevin
