How to reflect variables like "sysconfdir" in an executable.

[Hans Deragon]

Greetings.


  I am working on a project where the executable is a Python script, so no 
building is required.  However, since it has to read a configuration file, 
like /etc/<file>, my script needs to be modified so that the sysconfdir 
directory is reflected somewhere.

  Are there any means with Automake such that an executable script would be 
parsed and modified with the $sysconfdir variable hardcoded so it knows where 
to read the configuration file?  Couldn't find anything for this in the doc.


Newbie thanking you for your patience.
