Robert wants to use SIP and he told me there is lot of hand-written code for SWIG. However, let's not forget that wxPython is also,afaik, offering higher-level (aka Pythonic) interface to wx, so I bet we would like to have same with wxD, right? > So I'm trying to port those php scripts and see if it's usable for D. > When I have some scripts done I'll put them on github somewhere.
