P.S. As a general comment to the list, we really ought to remove the old python bindings from trunk since they are terribly out of date and buggy at this point. Last time this came up it turned out some packager (redhat?) was still using them so we left them in, but I think they're probably doing more harm than good at this point...
Redhat has stopped enabling the Python bindings[1] but IIRC OpenSUSE or somebody else still had them enabled last I checked.
But I don't think that's a good reason to keep them around: just look in trunk-1.10 where we (I) disabled Python support to keep distributions (or anybody else) from trying to use something that's so buggy.
The other argument (that I remember) for keeping them around was "it's a bunch of code that shouldn't be thrown away." But it'll always be there in the source code history...
