Ugh ;-)

I have the impression that SWIG has multiple backends for different 
languages.  There is one for automating much of the work of producing an 
extension module.  I presume there could be one, if not already, that 
produced Python/cytpe code instead of C code.  That would be a nice 
thing to have.

You can find threads about real experiences with SWIG in the clp 
archives at google groups.
