Using SWIG, we create a Python module and a C++ wrapper class.  The Python
module then has a class Foo, which we use to call methods that interface
into the C++ Foo class.  So, in Python, I call Foo.SetValue(val) and the
SetValue() method of the C++ Foo class is called.

Does that help to explain things better?
