Just FYI, it appears that the xulrunner-1.9 package now includes the Python XPCOM bindings:

$ export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.11/python
$ /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.11/run-mozilla.sh python
Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:58:18)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import xpcom
>>>

Which would seem to render the python-xpcom package obsolete. It'd be helpful if the package description included a note about this...
