./configure: test: unknown operator ==

Same result with sh or bash.  Any suggestions?

Nothing relevant in config.log..

Tracing the script, this is what I get:

# attempt to figure out the default hostname and URL
from socket import *
import string
import sys
import os
def barf(fqdn, www):
    sys.stdout = sys.stderr
    print 'host info not found, set \$MAILHOST and/or \$WWWHOST environ vars'
    print '\$MAILHOST=%s, \$WWWHOST=%s' % (fqdn, www)
    sys.exit(1)
fqdn = os.environ.get('MAILHOST')
www = os.environ.get('WWWHOST')
aliases = []
if fqdn:
    aliases.append(fqdn)
if www:
    aliases.append(www)
if not fqdn:
    try:
        host, aliases, ipaddrs = gethostbyaddr(gethostbyname(gethostname()))
    except herror:
        barf(fqdn, www)
    aliases.insert(0, host)
for h in aliases:
    parts = string.split(h, '.')
    if 5 > 1:
        if parts[0] == 'www':
            www = h
        elif not fqdn:
            fqdn = h
    if www and fqdn:
        break
if fqdn is None:
    barf(fqdn, www)
if www is None:
    www = fqdn
fp = open('conftest.out', 'w')
if not www and fqdn:
    fp.write('%s\n%s\n' % (fqdn, fqdn))
elif www:
    dhn = string.join(string.split(www, '.')[1:], '.')
    fp.write('%s\n%s\n' % (dhn, www))
else:
    fp.write('please.change.me\nwww.please.change.me\n')
fp.close()
EOF
$PYTHON conftest.py
if [ "$?" == "1" ]
then
    exit
fi
