I agree!

The fundamental advantage of inline is that you don't have to worry
about refcounts and PyObjects but you also don't have to learn to use
SWIG. (SWIG might be helpful under the covers as the wrapper generator
technology...) It also removes the whole build step from projects that
want to wrap C code. This makes C extension wrapping much more Pythonic.
