Sure, but I wasn't comparing SWIGged interfaces with hand-
crafted interfaces for large C API's. I'm talking about a system
which uses a single 16k DLL to access major portions of the
Windows API, and uses a relatively small Python layer to
abstract away most of the complexity of that API.
In my book, that's about as cool as can be.
