Having a signrom.py, driven by configure or make, is fine. But configure should be able to run anywhere and at least report what's missing. #!/bin/sh is the standard, highly compatible mechanism among Unices, Posices and more to do just that. Python on the other hand is either /usr/bin/python or /usr/bin/env python, which both don't work on systems without /usr/bin for starters. So please not all of configure, at least detect and/or allow to overwrite the python path.
