Yes, I know about python-apt, but the idea of using SWIG would be to maintain one set of glue interfaces and generate perl/python/ruby/language-of-the-week bindings from it. If at all possible, I also want to generate the glue from the C++ headers, so that everything would automatically be updated as the interface changes. -- - mdz
