Yeah, that's what I thought - it won't work from Python, because those
methods aren't available. Basically, I'm running into problems
actually getting SWIG's default STL (std::vector<std::string>)
typemaps to work. For that matter, I didn't have much success getting
custom ones to work either - I think the problem is that typemaps
don't play well with extended methods, even though they really should :-(

I've asked about this on the SWIG list, but without a helpful reply.

It won't happen before the 1.0 release of Xapian, for the reasons Olly
has given.
