makepy.py changed?

In January - just starting with Python - I had 'makepy' create the
interfacing code of spirit.ocx, which is the library of the LEGO
Mindstorms Robotics kit. Using the Activestate distribution of Python
of that time (I think it was v1.37 - or is it v137?) makepy worked
quite well, creating a VERY LONG and DETAILED python module.

January was too early - my understanding of Python was too little.
With improved knowledge I'd like to try again.

Again with the Activestate edition, now Python 2.1, makepy creates a
MUCH SHORTER source. The details of the spirit.ocx methods are
missing. I tried all the parameters - I couldn't convince makepy to do
'better'.

My guess is, makepy has changed and now implements a more dynamic
strategy. But I so much would prefer the old more static one, as it's
much more showing.

Q:
How can I still have makepy behave in the old / detailed / explicit /
static / or whatever it is called way?
