14 # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 # Adds support for distributing Python modules and packages. To
16 # install modules, copy them to $(pythondir), using the python_PYTHON
17 # automake variable. To install a package with the same name as the
18 # automake package, install to $(pkgpythondir), or use the
19 # pkgpython_PYTHON automake variable.
21 # The variables $(pyexecdir) and $(pkgpyexecdir) are provided as
22 # locations to install python extension modules (shared libraries).
23 # Another macro is required to find the appropriate flags to compile
26 # If your package is configured with a different prefix to python,
27 # users will have to add the install directory to the PYTHONPATH
28 # environment variable, or create a .pth file (see the python
29 # documentation for details).
31 # If the MINIMUM-VERSION argument is passed, AM_PATH_PYTHON will
32 # cause an error if the version of python installed on the system
33 # doesn't meet the requirement. MINIMUM-VERSION should consist of
34 # numbers and dots only.
