Not just a good idea, requisite. In fact, we just had a discussion on IRC
earlier today that pointed out another possibility. Instead of trying to wrap
each primitive and wdb interface individually, you could also propose working
on a generalized interface that would apply to all primitives. For example,
each primitive could publish a json-style parameter dictionary for itself that
callers would fill out by simply saying "make me one of these". With that, the
binding interface in python would basically be to one function and would be
future-proof as primitives are changed or new ones are added.
Obviously very different from wrapping all of the libwdb mk_*() routines, but
something worth thinking about a little bit even if that approach isn't
ultimately taken this time around. Perhaps some of the GSoC work could get us
closer to that, or perhaps you can find a viable way to propose it.
Cheers!
