indeed. The 'configure' script always checks for python and generate a
python 'site-package module'.

The LOWPAN_TOOLS_TESTS needs this 'module' only. But at the moment there
is no 'enable/disable' switch in the 'configure' script.

We shall change: 

"select PYTHON if LOWPAN_TOOLS_TESTS" to "select PYTHON"

Thanks for the hint!
