Re: [Swig-user] Wrapping C++ Streams

[Josh C. <jc...@nc...>]

The intent, in case it was unclear, is that you instantiate stream objects 
from python and pass them as stream parameters (so I wouldn't say that 
stream parameters don't get wrapped).  See 
http://www.nabble.com/Using-std%3A%3Aistream-from-Python-ts7920114.html#a7920114 
for some discussion of use of file-like Python objects.
