Right.

And if you read the distutils.command.config module source:

    # Utility methods for actual "config" commands.  The interfaces are
    # loosely based on Autoconf macros of similar names.  Sub-classes
    # may use these freely.


I'm curious to know how many Python projects use the config command and
the Autoconf like API.
