CrackLib-2.10.2 python module

I've been checking the packages that use Python with python-3.13.

In the cracklib build I've been unable to build the python module that we mention
in BLFS:

   Installed Libraries: libcrack.so and the _cracklib.so (Python module)

First, the configure command refuses to find python3.13/Python.h, yet that exists:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3960 Oct 28 13:26 /usr/include/python3.13/Python.h

If I hack configure to force it to build the module, I get:

libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H 
-DDEFAULT_CRACKLIB_DICT=\"/usr/local/share/cracklib/pw_dict\" 
-DPYTHON_H=\"python3.13/Python.h\" -I. -I.. -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" 
-I../lib -Wall -g -O2 -MT _cracklib.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/_cracklib.Tpo -c _cracklib.c 
  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/_cracklib.o
In file included from /usr/include/python3.13/pyatomic.h:9,
                  from /usr/include/python3.13/Python.h:70,
                  from _cracklib.c:28:
/usr/include/python3.13/cpython/pyatomic.h:532:12: fatal error:

   532 | #  include "cpython/pyatomic_gcc.h"
       |            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

We do not mention cpython anywhere in BLFS although the Python build installs 50 
header files in the /usr/include/python3.13/cpython/ directory including pyatomic_gcc.h

I do note that Arch Linux passes --without-python to configure.

The easy way to go is to just remove the mention of the python module.

What do you think?
