Why put this in an else clause? This code assumes that we'll never
ever add more scripting languages to the bindings. I'd say it would
be safer to explicitly check for python before changing the extension
to ".pyd". We don't want the same problem to bite us again some time
later. We should rather make sure that this problem will never hit
us again. So I'd suggest doing something like this instead:

     if self.lang == "ruby":
       lib_filename = module_name + lib_extension
     elif self.lang == "perl":
       lib_filename = '_' + module_name.capitalize() + lib_extension
     elif self.lang == "python":
       lib_extension = self.gen_obj._extension_map['pyd', 'target']
     else:
       # throw an error, unknown language binding, please add proper
       # library filename extension here
