I don't think there is an instant support for this.

Gnumeric, the GNU spreadsheet, supports scripting in both perl and python,
thus the autodetection in its configure.in might inspire you.
Download it from:

http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnumeric/configure.in?rev=.


Then there is macro AM_PATH_PYTHON in Automake, but I don't think it
deals with embedding.  Yet it might be inspiring.
(See file m4/python.m4 in the Automake source tree; currently, it is
identical as my /usr/share/aclocal-1.9/python.m4 from Automake 1.9.6.
There was no non-trivial change since the release 1.9.4.)

Have a nice day,
