[sword-devel] Building Python bindings

[Joachim Ansorg]

Hi,
thanks for reporting this.

I can confirm that but I found a workaround. I ran the following commands:
	cd bindings/switg/package/
	./configure
	make pythonswig
	make
	cd python
	python setup.py install
	
and to test the import:
	echo "import Sword" | python

I don't know python so I can't test it more :)

Does that help?
Joachim
