dnl @synopsis AC_PYTHON_DEVEL
dnl
dnl Checks for Python and tries to get the include path to 'Python.h'.
dnl It provides the $(PYTHON_CPPFLAGS) and $(PYTHON_LDFLAGS) output
dnl variables.
dnl It also exports $(PYTHON_EXTRA_LIBS) and $(PYTHON_EXTRA_LDFLAGS)
dnl for embedding Python in your code.
dnl If you want to use a particular version of Python, please set
dnl the PYTHON_VERSION variable.
