[Python-3000] A wish: build C, C++, FORTRAN library wrapping into Python.

[Edward C. Jones]

Wild wish.

Many C, C++ and FORTRAN libraries have been wrapped in Python. These 
wrapped libraries are used a lot. A number of programs have been written 
that automate this process, the standard example being SWIG. These 
programs have become fairly mature. How much of the wrapping process can 
be built into Python? What changes in Python or added capabilities would 
make the wrapping process easier? What would Beasley, Abrahams, Ewing, 
et al want to see done?
