It is quite clear:

$ ./configure python --help

    --config=FILE         set python-config filename
    --module=NAME         set unit python module name
    --lib-path=DIRECTORY  set directory path to libpython.so library

In your case that would be python-config or python3.9-config

Usually you don't need this.  This option is useful when python-config
does not setup path to libpython.
