python3.1 and and python2.6 have already been added to `python.m4'
in the developement version of automake, but and python2.7 has not.
Also, I see that the first release candidate of of python3.2 is
planned for the beginning of dicember, so we might even think to
add python3.2 right away to `python.m4'.  This is what I've done
in the attached patch.

Ralf, OK for maint?

   Stefano
