Around the end of the 4.2 cycle I'll generate some reference 
documentation from the header files. BUt beyond that I can't really give 
too much of a description or examples for the simple reason that I 
myself don't know how to use the marble API.

building and installation you mean?  I recently put up a wiki page to 
help explain how to get everything installed from svn:

http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/Python_Support

The marble bindings are an 1:1 mapping of the C++ API. Once you know how 
to use Python and PyQt (signal/slots etc etc) then marble is "just 
another library".
