my understanding is that this sentence simply declares that
AM_PATH_PYTHON is not aspiring to do this. If it were meant as a
reference, it would surely say what it refers to.
When you look at the autoconf macro archive,
http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/macros-by-category.html#INSTALLEDPACKAGES
you'll find several macros for Python.
It is quite possible that their quality is varying, but anyway, they could
help you. Please send comments to the ac-archive-maintainers@gnu.org list,
so that the obsolete ones can be marked as such.
If you end up writing something usable, please donate it back to the
ac-archive, or even to the Automake.
Have a nice day,
Stepan
