Note: Defines as a precious variable "PYTHON_VERSION". Don't
override it in your configure.ac.
This macro checks for Python and tries to get the include path to
'Python.h'. It provides the $(PYTHON_CPPFLAGS) and
$(PYTHON_LDFLAGS) output variables. It also exports
$(PYTHON_EXTRA_LIBS) and $(PYTHON_EXTRA_LDFLAGS) for embedding
Python in your code.
You can search for some particular version of Python by passing a
parameter to this macro, for example ">= '2.3.1'", or "== '2.4'".
Please note that you *have* to pass also an operator along with the
version to match, and pay special attention to the single quotes
surrounding the version number. Don't use "PYTHON_VERSION" for
this: that environment variable is declared as precious and thus
reserved for the end-user.
This macro should work for all versions of Python >= 2.1.0. As an
end user, you can disable the check for the python version by
setting the PYTHON_NOVERSIONCHECK environment variable to something
else than the empty string.
If you need to use this macro for an older Python version, please
contact the authors. We're always open for feedback.

This version of the AC@&t@_PYTHON_DEVEL macro

variables PYTHON_CPPFLAGS, PYTHON_LDFLAGS, PYTHON_SITE_PKG,
PYTHON_EXTRA_LIBS and PYTHON_EXTRA_LDFLAGS by hand.
Moreover, to disable this check, set PYTHON_NOVERSIONCHECK
to something else than an empty string.
