# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_PYTHON
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   This macro does a complete Python development environment check.
#
#   It checks for all known versions. When it finds an executable, it looks
#   to find the header files and library.
#
#   It sets PYTHON_BIN to the name of the python executable,
#   PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR to the directory holding the header files, and
#   PYTHON_LIB to the name of the Python library.
#
#   This macro calls AC_SUBST on PYTHON_BIN (via AC_CHECK_PROG),
#   PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR and PYTHON_LIB.
