The code is generated from the .defs files (rb.defs and rhythmdb.defs) that
describe the classes and methods to bind, and the .override files that
implement the bindings for some methods where the code generator doesn't get it
right.  The tool that does this is the pygobject codegen tool.

In general, we don't include generated files in the source tree, so an easy way
to find the source for any generated file is to look in the git tree.  In this
case: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/rhythmbox/tree/bindings/python/
