I don't know why SWIG is discouraged; in my experience, it is a very 
easy way to generate the wrapping code around C++ classes, and also 
flexible in many directions. It can be easily extended for new datatypes 
(there is a numpy interface module, for instance), and also generates 
code for other scripting languages as well. What specifically did you 
try, and what failed?

Concerning the callbacks, I don't know about these, but hopefully you 
are aware that you can easily loose the C++ speed advantage by using 
Python lambdas, since those have to go through the Python interpreter.
