#
# SYNOPSIS
#
# AC_PYTHON_DEVEL([version])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# 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.
