Hi Eric,

They aren't, but perhaps they are loaded when we (require 'python)?  If
so then I guess it's out of babel's control; maybe a partial solution
would be to not activate python as a babel langage until necessary
(maybe by adding (require 'org-babel-python) to an appropriate hook?).

On my ubuntu 9.10 netbook I don't seem to have any the python info files
even after installing python2.6-doc. Are you using a debian-based linux
system and if so could you tell me how to install the python info files
so that I can investigate?
