+dnl @synopsis AC_PYTHON_DEVEL([version])
+dnl
+dnl Checks for Python and tries to get the include path to 'Python.h'.
+dnl It provides the $(PYTHON_CPPFLAGS) and $(PYTHON_LDFLAGS) output
+dnl variables. Also exports $(PYTHON_EXTRA_LIBS) and
+dnl $(PYTHON_EXTRA_LDFLAGS) for embedding Python in your code.
+dnl
+dnl You can search for some particular version of Python by passing a
+dnl parameter to this macro, for example ">= '2.3.1'", or "== '2.4'".
+dnl Please note that you *have* to pass also an operator along with the
+dnl version to match, and pay special attention to the single quotes
+dnl surrounding the version number.
+dnl
+dnl If the user wants to employ a particular version of Python, she can
+dnl now pass to configure the PYTHON_VERSION environment variable. This
+dnl is only limited by the macro parameter set by the packager.
+dnl
+dnl This macro should work for all versions of Python >= 2.1.0. You can
+dnl disable the check for the python version by setting the
+dnl PYTHON_NOVERSIONCHECK environment variable to something else than
+dnl the empty string.
+dnl
+dnl If you need to use this macro for an older Python version, please
+dnl contact the authors. We're always open for feedback.
