On that topic. I've done some slight code cleaning and have submitted an 
article to The Python Papers [1] for the upcoming issue. It seems like the 
article will be accepted, and published. The article is mainly on the "art" of 
C library wrapping and automatic code generation, with enhancements to support 
more advanced language features from Python. It uses however LCMS as a working 
example with several code samples.

The way the wrapping is handled it should be fairly easy to adapt towards lcms 
2.0 I would assume (without having tried it yet, due to time constraints).

Scripts to automate the code generation and unit tests are available as well. 
I'd be more than happy to donate the code towards integration into the LCMS 
project.
