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.
