As the header of this file warns it, this is a generated file that you 
shouldn't edit. Adding new methods in it is not sufficient. Code must also be 
added swig/python/extensions/ogr_wrap.cpp.
So edit swig/include/ogr.i to define your new method there, and run "make 
generate" in swig/python (you need SWIG to be available) (or "nmake /f 
makefile.vc python" from swig/ on Windows)
