[Xapian-discuss] Import error on Windows

[David Sauve]

I'm rather embarrassed to admit, I had the wrong version of the bindings installed.  Your reply prompted me to go back and verify the version, and it turned out I had an older version.  Removing that and installing the correct version corrected the issue.

Thanks, Charlie!
