You shouldn't use _xapian directly.  Use the xapian module instead.

You shouldn't call new_WritableDatabase or new_Document directly either.

See simpleindex.py for an example of how to use the xapian python
bindings correctly.  Your example should probably look something like
this:

    import sys
    sys.path.append("C:/Python25/Lib/site-packages/Xapian")
    import xapian
    w=xapian.WritableDatabase("db",xapian.DB_CREATE_OR_OPEN)
    d=xapian.Document()
    del d
    
Cheers,
