5 # SYNOPSIS
6 #
7 # AC_PYTHON_DEVEL([version])
8 #
9 # DESCRIPTION
10 #
11 # Note: Defines as a precious variable "PYTHON_VERSION". Don't override it
12 # in your configure.ac.
13 #
14 # This macro checks for Python and tries to get the include path to
15 # 'Python.h'. It provides the $(PYTHON_CPPFLAGS) and $(PYTHON_LDFLAGS)
16 # output variables. It also exports $(PYTHON_EXTRA_LIBS) and
17 # $(PYTHON_EXTRA_LDFLAGS) for embedding Python in your code.
18 #
19 # You can search for some particular version of Python by passing a
20 # parameter to this macro, for example ">= '2.3.1'", or "== '2.4'". Please
21 # note that you *have* to pass also an operator along with the version to
22 # match, and pay special attention to the single quotes surrounding the
23 # version number. Don't use "PYTHON_VERSION" for this: that environment
24 # variable is declared as precious and thus reserved for the end-user.
25 #
26 # This macro should work for all versions of Python >= 2.1.0. As an end
27 # user, you can disable the check for the python version by setting the
28 # PYTHON_NOVERSIONCHECK environment variable to something else than the
29 # empty string.
30 #
31 # If you need to use this macro for an older Python version, please
32 # contact the authors. We're always open for feedback.
