Yeah, we've seen a similar behaviour with 1.3.28 I believe. Maybe the
#if is not really working or SWIGVERSION is not properly defined for
some versions of SWIG.

I don't think there is one, since SWIG doesn't come with header files
or libs required for development. It just has an executable and a
couple of template files that are used to generate the wrapper code.

I am using SWIG 1.3.29 on OSX and didn't have any problems. Can you
look at py_runtime.cc and check that there is a line like that
present:

   #define SWIGVERSION 0x010327


If you like, I could install an older version and do some tests
myself. Might be better to fix that issue if some distros still come
with older versions of SWIG (although we most likely would distribute
the files generated by SWIG with a source tarball, just not keep them
in CVS).

Speaking of that, I've updated the website with the new instructions
and also added a few more modules we've added in the meantime. Thanks
for making me aware of the change :-).
