New version checking routine fails if version number is in the full path

[Mats Bengtsson]

Hi,

On my system, the latest Python version is installed in
/pkg/python/2.4.2/os/bin/python
and it seems that the new version checking routine in configure
fails in such situations. I haven't deciphered exactly how you
expect it to work, but if I remove the final | sed 's/\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/g'
_ver will be
/pkg/python/2.4.2/os/bin/python
instead of
2.4.2
