No really that is wrong. What matters is what is in the Python
executables, but you don't want to know that. So I will bow

A Python binary is no more derived from the autotools than the book

lots of code fragments out of the autoconf and automake M4 files, and

If you distribute Python sources that link the GNU libreadline then
all your code will be covered by GPL, because libreadline uses the
full GPL not LGPL. That is why Apple and other commercial vendors do
not include
tribution. A configure script is built up from
lots of code fragments out of the autoconf and automake M4 files, and
would clearly be covered by GPL.

ions because parts of the GPLed
runtime libraries are included in all compiled code. No part of the
autotools ends up in the finished code. If it did, you would need m4
to run Python and you don't.
