  libxml2-python is built when you build from a tarball too.
The problem is that you don't have the python-devel package
and hence it's impossible to compile python bindings on that
machine. libxml2 configure detects that and don't build the
bindings as a result. The rpm source build also detect this
and refuse to continue.

   and the distutil based build also complain for the same thing
but in a more obscure manner:
