I'll leave this in for the moment anyway.

I think other distro packagers (Debian etc.) have been leaning on upstream XBMC
to fix this, but I don't think it's a high priority for the devs when I've
discussed this on IRC.  Some don't see the point in distro packages and
recommend "XBMC Live", others just don't have time to work on fixing the Python
bugs.  Obviously I'm sure they'd be happy to take patches that fix this,
however I don't have the time to work on the innards of the python-xbmc
bindings myself.  

Was there an upstream trac bug that's dedicated to fixing this, or a forum post
that outlines this porting effort that you know about?
