I've got some questions on that, which I couldn't find on the SWIG web site:
- Does SWIG work with Python 2?
- How C preprocessor constants (#define ...) are converted to Python by SWIG?
I suppose one will need to create C constants corresponding to the macros
manually.
- In the mailing list, Sascha Gresk said: "- swig does not currently parse
every conceivable type of C declaration"; can you name any particular type
causing trouble?

Regards,
    Konstantin.
