build: Find Python the Autotools way

Mathieu Bridon requested to merge github/fork/bochecha/python into master

An added advantage to this is that it makes it really easy to build with Python 3, the same way other Autotools projects support it:

$ export PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3
$ ./configure

By the way, this builds perfectly fine with Python 3. 🙂

Is that something you want to support going forward? Or do you recommend downstreams build with Python 2 for now?

(note that quite a few downstream distributors are trying to remove Python 2 entirely)
