+
+# Adds support for distributing Python modules and packages.  To
+# install modules, copy them to $(pythondir), using the python_PYTHON
+# automake variable.  To install a package with the same name as the
+# automake package, install to $(pkgpythondir), or use the
+# pkgpython_PYTHON automake variable.
+
+# The variables $(pyexecdir) and $(pkgpyexecdir) are provided as
+# locations to install python extension modules (shared libraries).
+# Another macro is required to find the appropriate flags to compile
+# extension modules.
+
+# If your package is configured with a different prefix to python,
+# users will have to add the install directory to the PYTHONPATH
+# environment variable, or create a .pth file (see the python
+# documentation for details).
+
+# If the MINIMUM-VERSION argument is passed, AM_PATH_PYTHON will
+# cause an error if the version of python installed on the system
+# doesn't meet the requirement.  MINIMUM-VERSION should consist of
+# numbers and dots only.
