Tom,
O.K.,
I re-wrote my ./configure to start with
./configure PYTHON=/c/EnterpriseDB/LanguagePack/9.5/x64/Python-3.3/python.exe ... etc ...
Thanks that works right now.
checking for python... /c/EnterpriseDB/LanguagePack/9.5/x64/Python-3.3/python.exe
checking for Python distutils module... yes
checking Python configuration directory...
checking Python include directories... -Ic:/EnterpriseDB/LanguagePack/9.5/x64/Python-3.3/include
checking how to link an embedded Python application... -L -lpython3.3
Maybe the docs should say, something similar to
"Full path name and file name of the XXX interpreter"?
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/install-procedure.html
I also ended up needing. . . .
1. A copy of python33.dll to be in the folder C:\Windows\System32.
(This 'location requirement' seems *stangely* hardcoded.)
2. pexports.exe ( that the mingw x86_64-6.2.0-release-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev0 does not have.)
I ended up attaching the 'PostgreSQL happy' Strawberry PERL distribution c_bin_directory
(that has pexports.exe ) to the end of my path.
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Strawberry\c\bin
(But this guy know how to get pexports.exe directly)
MinGW: pexports for Windows DLLs

I followed the instructions in here.
http://get.enterprisedb.com/docs/README-languagepack-950.txt
Then, I did.
create language plpython3u;
I followed the instructions in here.

Last, I did a very simple test.
postgres=# select pymax(5,3);
pymax

Are you sure that that PYTHON specification actually points at a usable
executable?

The test that's failing is just
if "${PYTHON}" -c 'import distutils' 2>&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD
then
AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)
else
AC_MSG_RESULT(no)
AC_MSG_ERROR([distutils module not found])
fi
so it seems pretty likely that the value of PYTHON you're forcing doesn't
identify a usable Python. Looking into config.log to see what the stderr
output of this test was might be informative.
