You can also install it from the source. Grab the 0.21 fixes branch via 
svn and navigate to the bindings/python folder. I can't remember exactly 
where it ends up, as I don't have the source in front of me. The folder 
should contain setup.py.

Now run sudo python setup.py install

I am sure doing it this way isn't supported, but it's basically what the 
make file does.
