The very first reply, Emile's, pointed out that these were optional
modules, and that python did, in fact build successfully.

They don't need to be turned off.  They can either be ignored (because
they aren't needed, and did not cause the build to fail), or the
development libraries for those pieces can be installed and python
recompiled.

The rest of the thread has been commenting on the OP's choice of
python version and operating system.  That's not exactly on topic, but
the original question was answered in the very first response.
