Meador Inge added the comment: I am not sure I follow. In configure.ac I see one check for Python:
AC_SUBST(ASDLGEN) AC_CHECK_PROGS(PYTHON, python$PACKAGE_VERSION python3 python, not-found) if test "$PYTHON" = not-found; then ASDLGEN="@echo python: $PYTHON! cannot run \$(srcdir)/Parser/asdl_c.py #" else ASDLGEN="$PYTHON" fi and a couple of uses for it in Makefile.pre.in: $(AST_H): $(AST_ASDL) $(ASDLGEN_FILES) $(MKDIR_P) $(AST_H_DIR) $(ASDLGEN) -h $(AST_H_DIR) $(AST_ASDL) $(AST_C): $(AST_H) $(AST_ASDL) $(ASDLGEN_FILES) $(MKDIR_P) $(AST_C_DIR) $(ASDLGEN) -c $(AST_C_DIR) $(AST_ASDL) Are you suggesting that the variable name 'ASDLGEN" be renamed to something more general so that any scripts that need to be run *before* building the interpreter can use it? I don't see any other AC_CHECK_PROGS checks for Python in configure.ac.
