 According to http://xapian.org/docs/deprecation.htm, MSetItem.get_*()
 methods have been deprecated since 1.1. However, it seems like python-
 xapian itself attempts to make those calls when creating
 MSetItem[xapian.MSET_*] tuples, which causes an application attempting to
 use those tuples to err. See
 http://bugs.locamotion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1766 for example. In this case,
 the Translate Toolkit did not use MSetItem.get_*() methods, but it still
 quit with an error when  trying to use MSetItem[xapian.MSET_*]. Changing
 the appropriate lines to use MSetItem.* properties fixed the problem.

 I suspect the real problem is in http://trac.xapian.org/browser/trunk
 /xapian-bindings/python/util.i#L195 and below, where
 MSetItem[xapian.MSET_*] tuples are being created. I'm no Python expert
 though, so I may be totally wrong here.
