Generated transactions don't show up with an address they were generated to, while sent transactions show which address they were sent to.
That's the main reason why they don't get picked up.
The only exchange I know of that can pick up generated transactions is MtGox, but they don't do DVC.

Looking in a block explorer, for example:
http://glari.ch:2750/block/28086d694d18548cc83420ff3e09d9d3dd0f2fee0c55a25facca9e6696b635bcyou can see the generation transaction:
1FgDoZQLYE8y1rDAPhT3KbDNVQ5dy2AyRw: 5085
1M2ZXZMwnq8HWs3kuFnU2qtMdCPdaKTBTH: 45000
would it be possible to make a python script or something to read blocks and determine what address received the generation?
Which is probably how MtGox is doing it. I do know they are using custom software they made themselves, while the others are most likely just doing API calls to the daemon.
Just from my p2pool mining, for instance, at one point, bitcoind started showing the addresses the generated coin belong to, and they get counted in my p2pool receive address...
litecoind, on the other hand, using older code, doesn't show the addresses the coin is generated to.
