I did not manage to build the python bindings (I did not try the other
ones).

In scripts/python, the README says to simply "python setup.py build".
However, if I run that command in that directory, that yields a 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 26, in <module>
    shutil.copyfile(os.path.join(srcdir, "openbabel.py"),
"openbabel.py")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/shutil.py", line 48, in copyfile
    raise Error("`%s` and `%s` are the same file" % (src, dst))
shutil.Error: `openbabel.py` and `openbabel.py` are the same file

If I run it from the top source level like "python
scripts/python/setup.py build", I get

In file included from scripts/python/../../include/openbabel/obutil.h:46,
                 from scripts/python/openbabel-python.cpp:3018:
scripts/python/../../include/openbabel/rand.h:41: error: expected
constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘void’

Is this because I have not installed openbabel to /usr yet?  I am trying
to build a Debian/Ubuntu package, so this will never be the case.  I get
the same error message as above if I run it from the build directory
(but as the python setup.py creates another "build" directory, I guess
this is not the right course of action anyway).

So how exactly are the python bindings supposed to be built?

I would say running "mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make" should build
the python bindings as well, provided that feature has not been switched
off and the necessary packages are installed.
