[SciPy-Dev] Regenerating Swig-generated files with Swig 1.3.40 ?

[David Cournapeau]

Hi,

I would like to know if there is any objection to regenerate the swig 
source files with the last SWIG ? I have started working on py3 support 
for scipy, and the recent SWIG have added support for py3 compatibility 
(>= 1.3.37, we currently use 1.3.36). The main drawback I can see is 
that it would require people to build their own swig if they want to 
modify the code, as few distributions support such recent swig releases.

cheers,

David
