[Rivet] python in rivet 1.8.1

[Mikhail KIRSANOV]

  Dear rivet developers,
  Sorry for my previous e-mail with incomplete info.

  This is not a bug report, but a feature request from GENSER. On our 
computer python was not up-to-date and I had the following error in the 
end of compilation:

PYTHONPATH=../pyext: \
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/Python/2.6.5/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/bin/python 
mk-analysis-html analyses.html
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "mk-analysis-html", line 41, in <module>
     import dl
ImportError: No module named dl
make[1]: *** [analyses.html] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/genser1/mkirsano/GENSER/simu/work/tmp28/Rivet-1.5.1/doc'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

It seems that it happens even after the compilation, at the 
documentation making. After updating python it is OK, but we understood 
it quickly only because we remembered a similar problem from the past, 
otherwise the reason of this error is not obvious. It is also rather 
annoying that it happens after 1 - 2 hours of compilation.

So, the request is: is it possible to check that the corresponding part 
of python works before the compilation, at the configure step?

                                         Regards, Mikhail
