John,At best, the author / maintainer of the bindings would make a Python source distribution. Should be a matter of minutes. The Python (and Java) bindings should be relased separately, if there isn't another way to include the bare sources in the tarball without the autotools stuff.
The problem is long standing and could be solved so easily. Liblouis is the only package I am aware of that causes this kind of problems. I thought Liblouis is meant to be cross platform. So there needs to be a way to install things on win32 without cygwin and a bunch of build utilities.

Your understanding is correct. This is a problem for the autotools and python experts on the list.

Is my understanding correct? - As I don't have autotools on Windows, I am using a very old version of the bindings which is unsatisfactory if not unstable. Any help on how to get a current __init__.py file would be very much appreciated. Leo For a description of the software, to download it and links to project pages go to http://www.abilitiessoft.com
