Hi Friends!

> $ cat configure.ac
> AC_INIT([foo], [1.0])
> AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([1.15 foreign])
> AM_PATH_PYTHON

> $ cat Makefile.am

Now, if I remove the noinst, am__pep3147_tweak is properly defined.

> $ cat Makefile.am
> python_PYTHON =3D bar.py
> $ autoreconf -fi
> $ grep am__pep3147_tweak Makefile.in

At runtime, it results in:

That=E2=80=99s Automake 1.15.  Of course the `c` and `o` are errors, =
resulting
from the missing definition of am__pep3147_tweak (as is the unexpected
end of file).

Sure, I can use noinst_SCRIPTS etc., but it was handy for me to have
a variable for all my Python build-scripts.
