Something like the following attached patch?
We should also rework the test in configure.ac from
# Check for installed python
AM_PATH_PYTHON(1.5.2,, :)
to
AM_PATH_PYTHON(2.2.0,,)
That is it should fail if python 2.2 is not present, since we require it in
several places...
Since we are late in the game I understand if we don't change the last part,
but we should for further releases.
