This partially reverts (and fixes that part in a different way) commit e4384459c93e3e786aa483c7f077d1d22148f689, which replaced ``/usr/bin/python'' with ``/usr/bin/env python'' in all examples or scripts used during build to generate other files. However, python bindings module is compiled and linked against a specific python discovered or explicitly provided in configure phase. Thus libvirt.py, which is generated and installed into the system, should use the same python binary for which the module has been built. The hunk in Makefile.am replaces $(srcdir) with $(PYTHON), which might seem wrong but it is not. generator.py didn't use any of its command line arguments so passing $(srcdir) to it was redundant.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
