Compiling Xchat to enable python scripting

[Felix]

I have tried looking for documentation on this particular problem but ot 
no avail I wasn't able to find anything on it. This is my problem, After 
I compiled and installed xchat for Red hat 7.3 I noticed that python 
scripting was disable is there anyway of enabling it from within xchat? 
Or do I have ot recompile the whole program and include some sort of 
enable commmand within the ./configure option? If that is the case 
please I would appreciate if someone would give me all the necessary 
commands needed to correct my problem please.
