# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_PYTHON_DEFAULT
#   AX_PYTHON_ENABLE
#   AX_PYTHON_WITH
#   AX_PYTHON_PATH
#   AX_PYTHON_VERSION_ENSURE( [2.2] )
#   AX_PYTHON_CSPEC
#   AX_PYTHON_LSPEC
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   This file provides autoconf support for those applications that want to
#   embed python. It supports all pythons >= 2.2 which is the first official
#   release containing distutils. Version 2.2 of python was released
#   December 21, 2001. Since it actually executes the python, cross platform
#   configuration will probably not work. Also, most of the platforms
#   supported are consistent until you look into Mac OS X. The python
#   included with it is installed as a framework which is a very different
#   environment to set up the normal tools such as gcc and libtool to deal
#   with. Therefore, once we establish which python that we are going to
#   use, we use its distutils to actually compile and link our modules or
#   applications.
#
#   At this time, it does NOT support linking with Python statically. It
#   does support dynamic linking.
#
#   This set of macros help define $PYTHON, $PYTHON_USE, $PYTHON_CSPEC and
#   $PYTHON_LSPEC. $PYTHON defines the full executable path for the Python
#   being linked to and is used within these macros to determine if that has
#   been specified or found. These macros do execute this python version so
#   it must be present on the system at configure time.
#
#   $PYTHON_USE is an automake variable that defines whether Python support
#   should be included or not in your application. $PYTHON_CSPEC is a
#   variable that supplies additional CFLAGS for the compilation of the
#   application/shared library. $PYTHON_LSPEC is a variable that supplies
#   additional LDFLAGS for linking the application/shared library.
#
#   The following is an example of how to set up for python usage within
#   your application in your configure.in:
#
#     AX_PYTHON_DEFAULT( )
#     AX_PYTHON_ENABLE( )             # Optional
#     AX_PYTHON_WITH( )               # Optional
#     AX_PYTHON_PATH( )               # or AX_PYTHON_INSIST( )
#     # if $PYTHON is not defined, then the following do nothing.
#     AX_PYTHON_VERSION_ENSURE( [2.2] )
#     AX_PYTHON_CSPEC
#     AX_PYTHON_LSPEC
#
#   The AX_PYTHON_DEFAULT sets the $PYTHON_USE to false. Thereby, excluding
#   it if it was optional.
#
#   The AX_PYTHON_ENABLE looks for the optional configure parameters of
#   --enable-python/--disable-python and establishes the $PYTHON and
#   $PYTHON_USE variables accordingly.
#
#   The AX_PYTHON_WITH looks for the optional configure parameters of
#   --with-python/--without-python and establishes the $PYTHON and
#   $PYTHON_USE variables accordingly.
#
#   The AX_PYTHON_PATH looks for python assuming that none has been
#   previously found or defined and issues an error if it does not find it.
#   If it does find it, it establishes the $PYTHON and $PYTHON_USE variables
#   accordingly. AX_PYTHON_INSIST could be used here instead if you want to
#   insist that Python support be included using the --enable-python or
#   --with-python checks previously done.
#
#   The AX_PYTHON_VERSION_ENSURE issues an error if the Python previously
#   found is not of version 2.2 or greater.
#
#   Once that these macros have be run, we can use PYTHON_USE within the
#   makefile.am file to conditionally add the Python support such as:
#
#   Makefile.am example showing optional inclusion of directories:
#
#    if PYTHON_USE
#    plugins = plugins
#    src = src
#    else
#    plugins =
#    src =
#    endif
#
#    SUBDIRS = . $(plugins) $(src)
#
#   Makefile.am example showing optional shared library build:
#
#    if PYTHON_USE
#    lib_LTLIBRARIES        = libElemList.la
#    libElemList_la_SOURCES = libElemList.c
#    libElemList_la_CFLAGS  = @PYTHON_CSPEC@
#    libElemList_la_LDFLAGS = @PYTHON_LSPEC@
#    endif
#
#   Makefile.am example showing optional program build:
#
#    if PYTHON_USE
#    bin_PROGRAMS    = runFunc
#    runFunc_SOURCES = runFunc.c
#    runFunc_CFLAGS  = @PYTHON_CSPEC@
#    runFunc_LDFLAGS = @PYTHON_LSPEC@
#    endif
#
#   The above compiles the modules only if PYTHON_USE was specified as true.
#   Also, the else portion of the if was optional.
