I don't think that you have to include . in the search path. If this
would be necessary, aclocal would not find drivers.m4, curses.m4 neither.

But I've another strong suspicion: aclocal loads the global python.m4
before the local one (as you said, aclocal-1.9 provides a python.m4).

You could try to rename the python.m4 and change the reference in.. in..
wherever it's referenced.
