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