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