+dnl
+dnl This is a basic Autoconf configure.ac file for Python-based
+dnl projects. It is not intended to be used as-is, but rather to be
+dnl modified to the specific needs of the project.
+dnl
+dnl Lines prefixed with "dnl" are comments that are automatically
+dnl removed by Autoconf/M4, thus they will not appear in the generated
+dnl configure script (see the M4 documentation for more information).
+dnl Such comments are used in this file to communicate information to
+dnl you, the developer. In some cases, the comments contain extra
+dnl macros that you might consider including in your configure script.
+dnl If you wish to include them, simply remove the "dnl" from the
+dnl beginning of the line.
+dnl
+dnl Lines prefixed with "#" are comments that will appear in the
+dnl generated configure script. These comments are thus used to clarify
+dnl to the user what is happening in that script
+dnl
+dnl Wherever pyconfigure-specific macros are used, extra comments are
+dnl included to describe the macros.

+dnl The arguments have been set via the project's PKG-INFO file
+dnl and correspond to:
+dnl
+dnl 1) package name (i.e. foo)
+dnl 2) package version (i.e. 1.2)
+dnl 3) bug/info/project email address (i.e. bug-foo@gnu.org)

+dnl Program/command support #
+dnl###########################
+dnl
+dnl In this section, we check for the presence of important commands
+dnl and programs.
+
+dnl--PC_INIT----------------------------------------------------------
+dnl This is the only required macro. Its primary function is to find
+dnl a Python interpreter that is compatible with the package and set
+dnl the PYTHON variable to hold its path. It can optionally take
+dnl arguments to specify minimum and/or maximum versions:
+dnl PC_INIT: find an interpreter with a version between 2.0 and 3.3.99
+dnl (in other words, up to and including any possible release
+dnl in the 3.3 series)
+dnl PC_INIT([MIN_VER], [MAX_VER]): Find an interpreter that is between
+dnl the minimum and maximum version. If the min is in the 2.0
+dnl series and the max is in the 3.0 series, non-existent
+dnl releases (2.8 & 2.9) will be correctly skipped.
+dnl----
+dnl
+PC_INIT([2.6], [2.7.99])
+
+dnl--PC_PYTHON_PROG_PYTHON_CONFIG-------------------------------------
+dnl In order to use some of the other macros, you also need the
+dnl python-config command, which will fall subject to the same problem
+dnl of python3-config being preferred to python2-config. This macro
+dnl will be automatically included if you use on of the macros that
+dnl depends on it, so you normally don't have to call it. However, if
+dnl you require a specific version, you can do something like the
+dnl following example.
+dnl----
+dnl
+PC_PYTHON_PROG_PYTHON_CONFIG([python2-config])
+if [[ "x$PYTHON_CONFIG" == "x" ]]; then
+ PC_PYTHON_PROG_PYTHON_CONFIG([$PYTHON-config])
+fi
+
+dnl----
+dnl With the following set of macros, we implement an option
+dnl "--with-virtualenv", which the user can pass to the configure
+dnl script in order to install to a Virtualenv (AC_ARG_WITH). If the
+dnl option is specified by the user, then we check if the program is
+dnl available, checking both for "virtualenv" and "virtualenv2"
+dnl (AC_CHECK_PROGS)
+dnl----
+dnl
+# Support installing to a virtualenv via the --with-virtualenv
+# configure flag
+AC_ARG_WITH([virtualenv],
+ [AS_HELP_STRING([--with-virtualenv], [install to a Python virtualenv])],
+ [],
+ [with_virtualenv=no])
+AS_IF([test "x$with_virtualenv" != xno],
+ AC_CHECK_PROGS([VIRTUALENV], [virtualenv virtualenv3 virtualenv2], [no])
+ AS_IF([test "x$VIRTUALENV" = xno],
+ [AC_MSG_FAILURE(
+ [--with-virtualenv given but virtualenv could not be found])]),
+ AC_SUBST([VIRTUALENV], [no]))
+AC_ARG_VAR([VIRTUALENV_FLAGS], [flags to pass to the virtualenv command])
+
+dnl----
+dnl If the program uses sphinx-build to build documentation, uncomment
+dnl this to create a SPHINXBUILD variable in the Makefile pointing to
+dnl the program. Thus, the user would specify
+dnl SPHINXBUILD=/path/to/sphinx-build as an argument to the configure
+dnl script. Since building the documentation should be optional, just
+dnl print a warning. If the program uses some other documentation
+dnl system, you can do something similar with it.
+dnl----
+dnl
+# Check for sphinx-build
+AC_CHECK_PROGS([SPHINXBUILD], [sphinx-build sphinx-build3 sphinx-build2], [no])
+AS_IF([test "x$SPHINXBUILD" = xno],
+ AC_MSG_WARN(sphinx-build is required to build documentation))
+
+
+dnl----
+dnl These two are standard Autoconf macros which check for the
+dnl presence of some programs that we will use in the Makefile.
+dnl----
+dnl
+AC_PROG_MKDIR_P
+AC_PROG_INSTALL
+
+# Check for a supported database program
+AC_PATH_PROG([SQLITE], [sqlite3])
+AC_PATH_PROG([POSTGRES], [postgres])
+if [[ "x$SQLITE" = "x" && "x$POSTGRES" = "x" ]]; then
+ AC_MSG_ERROR([SQLite or PostgreSQL is required])
+fi
+
+dnl--PC_PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_DIR---------------------------------------
+dnl This uses PYTHON_SITE_DIR to construct a directory for this
+dnl project (ie $PYTHON_SITE_DIR/project_name) and stores it in
+dnl pkgpythondir. This value is used by Automake for installing Python
+dnl scripts. By default, this begins with $pythondir, unexpanded, to
+dnl provide compatibility with GNU Makefile specifications, allowing
+dnl the user to change the prefix from the commandline.
+dnl----
+dnl
+PC_PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_DIR
+
+dnl--PC_PYTHON_EXEC_PACKAGE_DIR----------------------------------------
+dnl Same as PC_PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_DIR but for $exec-prefix. Stored in
+dnl pkgpyexecdir

+dnl
+PC_PYTHON_EXEC_PACKAGE_DIR

+
+dnl--PC_PYTHON_CHECK_MODULE([PYTHON-MODULE], [ACTION-IF-PRESENT],
+dnl [ACTION-IF-ABSENT])
+dnl This macro lets you check if a given Python module exists on the
+dnl system.
+dnl----
+dnl
+dnl PC_PYTHON_CHECK_MODULE([foo])
+
+# Check for python-lxml module
