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.
