You've just invented a new DISTRO_FEATURE, right?  I don't think we
should invent these without due thought.  There's a good discussion to
be had around a distro feature to enable all Pythonic integration
where possible, but it hasn't been had yet.

I see two options here:

1) systemd doesn't enable Python, and we add another recipe
systemd-python that only builds and ships the Python bindings.

2) Decide as a project that we need a new DISTRO_FEATURE "python" that
means "has full support for Python", meaning that every package that
had Python integration should enable it.

I'm currently leaning towards (1) as it's less intrusive on the OE
environment as a whole.
