You're not being dense but you are looking in the wrong place.  Check
out the demo/Zope27 sub-directory of the mycrypto src distro.

Here are my condensed install notes, which basically summarize the
instructions from the Zope27 directory

Install m2crypto 

  You'll need SWIG 1.3.21 :
  http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/swig/swig-1.3.22.tar.gz):
  ./configure; make; sudo make install

  Get the m2 src
  http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/Dist/m2crypto-0.13.zip

   I had to edit setup.py and add the following to the include_dirs
    for posix systems (on or around line 75

    include_dirs = [my_inc, '/usr/include', '/usr/kerberos/include/']
    
    > python setup.py build
    > sudo  python setup.py install
