The Python bindings as they stand can't do this - it's a nasty problem
to do with SWIG not coping with extension overloaded constructors. I'm
not quite sure how to fix it properly, so I'm working on a workaround
that would allow you to build queries out of lists of strings with a
single operator.

Just rebuilding the latest Xapian + bindings, I'll get back to you
what shape it's in ...
