 extension requires only an XML description of the extension, and not a
 single line of code.
 
+Python libraries: xcb-proto also contains language-independent Python
+libraries that are used to parse an XML description and create objects
+used by Python code generators in individual language bindings.  These
+libraries are installed into $(prefix)/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages.  If
+this location is not on your system's Python path, scripts that import
+them will fail with import errors.  In this case you must add the
+install location to your Python path by creating a file with a `.pth'
+extension in a directory that _is_ on the Python path, and put the
+path to the install location in that file.  For example, on my system
+there is a file named 'local.pth' in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages,
+which contains '/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages'.  Note that 
+this is only necessary on machines where XCB is being built.
