25
26# Adds support for distributing Python modules and packages. To
27# install modules, copy them to $(pythondir), using the python_PYTHON
28# automake variable. To install a package with the same name as the
29# automake package, install to $(pkgpythondir), or use the
30# pkgpython_PYTHON automake variable.
31
32# The variables $(pyexecdir) and $(pkgpyexecdir) are provided as
33# locations to install python extension modules (shared libraries).
34# Another macro is required to find the appropriate flags to compile
35# extension modules.
36
37# If your package is configured with a different prefix to python,
38# users will have to add the install directory to the PYTHONPATH
39# environment variable, or create a .pth file (see the python
40# documentation for details).
41
42# If the MINIMUM-VERSION argument is passed, AM_PATH_PYTHON will
43# cause an error if the version of python installed on the system
44# doesn't meet the requirement. MINIMUM-VERSION should consist of
