autoconf macro to detect Python?

[Vadim Zeitlin]

 Hello,

 sorry if this has been asked before, but DejaNews search didn't find anything
and the autoconf archive seems to be unaccessible from here so I decided to
post it here:

 My question is whether there exists a standard/official macro to use in
configure.in script to check for Python installation, i.e. headers and
libraries? Currently I have my own but it only works for 1.x and I thought
that instead of updating it to handle 2.0 it might be better to reuse an
existing one, if it exists, of course.

 Thanks,
VZ
