If Talib has a C API (not C++), the ctypes module can be used to call  
those C functions, so there is no need to write a special SWIG wrapper. In  
fact it may be much easier to do that way.

ctypes is a standard module on Python 2.5, and is documented here:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-ctypes.html
