That's bug definitely. In SWIG or in binding definition. I bet SWIG
1.3.31 won't work either, because 1.3.31 was released on 2006/11/20
while Python 2.6 appeared two years later on 01-Oct-2008
Even if bindings are in fact generated - I doubt they are optimized
for Python 2.6 or will work correctly.

All tests of Python bindings pass with Python 2.6 when these bindings have been
generated by SWIG 1.3.36.
