I ran into this issue myself for the first time as well. I wasn't building
Python but using the system one instead. For me, starting a shell and doing
cd ../libxml/python
make install
was enough to get the libxml2 Python module installed in the right place.
Apparently, despite it finding Python at /usr/bin/python during configure,
it still didn't install the module the first time around. Still not sure
why this happens.
