The Python script used to -build the bindings is python/generator.py in the source distribution.
To install the Python bindings there are 2 options:

The Python module is called libxml2; parseFile is the equivalent of xmlParseFile (most of the bindings are automatically generated, and the xml prefix is removed and the casing convention are kept). All node seen at the -binding level share the same subset of accessors:

: returns the node namename
: returns the node nametype
: returns a string indicating the node typecontent
: returns the content of the node, it is based on
xmlNodeGetContent() and hence is recursive.
