PATCH] Explicitly search /lib for the python libraries

[Rungta, Vandana]

This is a request to update the Tools/python.py file to explicitly look for the python libraries in $python_prefix/lib directly during the configure process.
Attached is the git format-patch file.

Please review and commit.

Thanks,
Vandana
