[Bug 247905] Re: vlc python bindings should be installed

The debian-provided vlc source does not even include directory with the
python bindings "bindings/python/", whereas README file does reference
the directory.

The vlc source code from the upstream site also does include the directory (!):
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.9.9a/vlc-0.9.9a.tar.bz2

I have done current GIT checkout of the the VLC and copied the bindings directory to the vlc-0.9.9a directory. Then I did
cd python/bindings && python setup.py build && python setup.py install

It compiled and installed the /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-
packages/vlc.so without errors.

But when I tried to run a sample python program that uses vlc library, I have got following error:
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/vlc.so: undefined symbol: libvlc_media_player_has_vout

Which is expectable, as the function libvlc_media_player_has_vout exists
in GIT version only.
