(Please Cc: me if you'd like me to jump into a thread, otherwise it's all 
too easy to miss a nudge like this!)

Can't reproduce here. It's not a Python-version thing; I can run 
generator.py just fine with 2.4.4.

(To Michael Ludwig: You didn't see a stack trace or anything? Could you 
poke around generator.py to see why it's returning non-zero?)

Is there a reason why libxml2-py.c doesn't go into the distribution 
tarball? (It's specified as nodist_libxml2mod_la_SOURCES in 
python/Makefile.am.) I didn't address this earlier, but if the dist were 
to bundle everything in $(GENERATED)---and I don't see a reason why not--- 
end users who download a tarball wouldn't have to generate files at all, 
and this kind of problem wouldn't come up in the first place.

I'd be happy to provide a patch, but the "nodist" question needs answering 
first...
