The help message uses $python and displays its value, so that macro should be tested and set early. With this modification, configure --help displays the correct value (usually python -B) and no longer creates several *.pyc files. Signed-off-by: Stefan Weil <sw@weilnetz.de> --- There still remains a problem with configure --help: it creates new files config.log, config.status.
