New description:

 {{{
 >>> from xapian import *
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
 AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Document_unserialise'
 >>>
 }}}

 This appears to be because this name is exported by the module's
 {{{__all__}}} but does not actually exist in the module itself:

 {{{
 >>> 'Document_unserialise' in xapian.__all__
 True
 >>> hasattr(xapian, 'Document_unserialise')
 False
 >>>
 }}}

Comment:

 I see this with trunk, by patching smoketest with the attached patch.

 Richard?
