SWIG and Python in use?

[Thorsten Kohnhorst]

Hello Alan,

I've used SWIG and Python in a game I wrote last year.
Python was used for writing the various levels and some
aspects of the user interface.
It was very easy to export most of my C++ Interfaces to
Python 2.x. I experienced no problems and can highly
recommend using SWIG for scripting and prototyping C++-
applications.
