measureTool() is not available to Python because the class MeasureTool 
(MeasureTool.h) is not exported by Marble in its library for use by 3rd 
parties.

First try begging the developers to export it, then I'm happy to try to 
get support for it from Python in KDE 4.3. (I don't know if MeasureTool 
should be exported, it might be deprecated. The core Marble devs will 
have to determine that one.)
