I am afraid such breaks may happen more often. We still do not have well
defined Python interface providing an abstraction layer to C++ code and
it is hard to develop new features without modifying interfaces from
time to time.

I have fixed the methods reported by Maurice and Simon because they were
declared in SWIG files, so I consider them a part of the official Python
interface (perhaps incorrectly).
