15# DESCRIPTION
16#
17#   This file provides autoconf support for those applications that want to
18#   embed python. It supports all pythons >= 2.2 which is the first official
19#   release containing distutils. Version 2.2 of python was released
20#   December 21, 2001. Since it actually executes the python, cross platform
21#   configuration will probably not work. Also, most of the platforms
22#   supported are consistent until you look into Mac OS X. The python
23#   included with it is installed as a framework which is a very different
24#   environment to set up the normal tools such as gcc and libtool to deal
25#   with. Therefore, once we establish which python that we are going to
26#   use, we use its distutils to actually compile and link our modules or
27#   applications.
28#
29#   At this time, it does NOT support linking with Python statically. It
30#   does support dynamic linking.
31#
32#   This set of macros help define $PYTHON, $PYTHON_USE, $PYTHON_CSPEC and
33#   $PYTHON_LSPEC. $PYTHON defines the full executable path for the Python
34#   being linked to and is used within these macros to determine if that has
35#   been specified or found. These macros do execute this python version so
36#   it must be present on the system at configure time.
37#
38#   $PYTHON_USE is an automake variable that defines whether Python support
39#   should be included or not in your application. $PYTHON_CSPEC is a
40#   variable that supplies additional CFLAGS for the compilation of the
41#   application/shared library. $PYTHON_LSPEC is a variable that supplies
42#   additional LDFLAGS for linking the application/shared library.
43#
44#   The following is an example of how to set up for python usage within
45#   your application in your configure.in:
46#
47#     AX_PYTHON_DEFAULT( )
48#     AX_PYTHON_ENABLE( )             # Optional
49#     AX_PYTHON_WITH( )               # Optional
50#     AX_PYTHON_PATH( )               # or AX_PYTHON_INSIST( )
51#     # if $PYTHON is not defined, then the following do nothing.
52#     AX_PYTHON_VERSION_ENSURE( [2.2] )
53#     AX_PYTHON_CSPEC
54#     AX_PYTHON_LSPEC
55#
56#   The AX_PYTHON_DEFAULT sets the $PYTHON_USE to false. Thereby, excluding
57#   it if it was optional.
58#
59#   The AX_PYTHON_ENABLE looks for the optional configure parameters of
60#   --enable-python/--disable-python and establishes the $PYTHON and
61#   $PYTHON_USE variables accordingly.
62#
63#   The AX_PYTHON_WITH looks for the optional configure parameters of
64#   --with-python/--without-python and establishes the $PYTHON and
65#   $PYTHON_USE variables accordingly.
66#
67#   The AX_PYTHON_PATH looks for python assuming that none has been
68#   previously found or defined and issues an error if it does not find it.
69#   If it does find it, it establishes the $PYTHON and $PYTHON_USE variables
70#   accordingly. AX_PYTHON_INSIST could be used here instead if you want to
71#   insist that Python support be included using the --enable-python or
72#   --with-python checks previously done.
73#
74#   The AX_PYTHON_VERSION_ENSURE issues an error if the Python previously
75#   found is not of version 2.2 or greater.
76#
77#   Once that these macros have be run, we can use PYTHON_USE within the
78#   makefile.am file to conditionally add the Python support such as:
79#
80#   Makefile.am example showing optional inclusion of directories:
81#
82#    if PYTHON_USE
83#    plugins = plugins
84#    src = src
85#    else
86#    plugins =
87#    src =
88#    endif
89#
90#    SUBDIRS = . $(plugins) $(src)
91#
92#   Makefile.am example showing optional shared library build:
93#
94#    if PYTHON_USE
95#    lib_LTLIBRARIES        = libElemList.la
96#    libElemList_la_SOURCES = libElemList.c
97#    libElemList_la_CFLAGS  = @PYTHON_CSPEC@
98#    libElemList_la_LDFLAGS = @PYTHON_LSPEC@
99#    endif
100#
101#   Makefile.am example showing optional program build:
102#
103#    if PYTHON_USE
104#    bin_PROGRAMS    = runFunc
105#    runFunc_SOURCES = runFunc.c
106#    runFunc_CFLAGS  = @PYTHON_CSPEC@
107#    runFunc_LDFLAGS = @PYTHON_LSPEC@
108#    endif
109#
110#   The above compiles the modules only if PYTHON_USE was specified as true.
111#   Also, the else portion of the if was optional.
