Does phython already use autoconf? I think it does, if so then there should be no issues.

Yes, but your conclusion is wrong. Python uses autoconf, but not aclocal/automake. The generated configure is explicitly not covered by the GPL; the status of the generated aclocal.m4 is unclear (it says it is GPL'ed; it also says it isn't).
