On Python 3.9 libpython no longer is linkable as a static library
due to the fact that libpython now depends on libintl. This would
mean we would have to import libintl to create a fully linked .la
It is better to be explicit that we are building a .so (really a .dylib
but autotools uses linux file conventions) that doesn't have to be fully
resolved.
