AC_MSG_CHECKING([for Python distutils module])
if "${PYTHON}" 2>&- -c 'import distutils'
then   AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)
else   AC_MSG_RESULT(no)   AC_MSG_ERROR([distutils module not found])
fi

That should work.

While I'm of the opinion that installations without distutils are
antiquated, I see no reason why we couldn't check for it anyways.
(Gaetano requested it so there would probably be others who would
appreciate it.)
