Hi,
I added 2 macros (AM_PATH_PYTHON2 and AM_PATH_PYTHON3) to support both
python2 and python3 on the same system. It works in the same way that
AM_PATH_PYTHON works (just a small wrapper around it). Please notice that
AM_PATH_PYTHON and AM_PATH_PYTHONx can't be called together.
The motive for doing this is Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Python (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python) which requires a package
to be built for both runtimes.
Thanks,
Yuval.

Subject: [PATCH] python.m4: supporing multiple python runtimes
Fedora systems rely on building python packages for both python2 and
python3. This patch presents new macros (AM_PATH_PYTHON{2,3}) that wrap
the existing python macro and save its output to a new set of variables.
For further details, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python
