This is wrong and you also won't need that.

Just in case you're not bound to SWIG yet, here's a Cython [1] version of
your code:
# put this in a file called "foo.pyx"
def gcd(int x, int y):
while x > 0:
y, x = x, y % x
return y
Compile it ("cythonize -b foo.pyx") and you'll get an extension module that
executes faster than what SWIG would give you and keeps everything in one
file to improve readability.
