Have you tried modifying the Config.mk is the root directory of your Xen.4.1 sources before compiling?
hg diff Config.mk output:

My resulting python path with when changing PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG was apparently /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages which I noticed was in your python's interpreter search path(s).

This is only a hack, as I am not sure if I bug has already been reported on the Debian BTS to fix the issue with python 2.6 onwards.
/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/command/install.py still makes reference
to site-packages <-- causing the issue (personally unconfirmed, source Xen developer: Ian Campbell who definatly knows more than I do when it comes to Xen or python).

As pointed out above my /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages does contain xen realated files, but just incase some locally built python stuff realted to xen did end up /usr/lib/python2.6/ I have attached that larger directory listing as well... a simple search for xen returns nothing.
