Hi all,

Departing from the recent thrilling discussion, I pose a geogeek question: To 
SWIG or not to SWIG? 

I contribute to the Virtual Terrain Project (VTP, www.vterrain.org).  The 
applications are built on GDAL, PROJ.4, wxWidgets, and OSG.  Each of these has 
SWIG python bindings or similar, with wxPython being key.   The ultimate goal: 
script data processing, build python GUIs to interact with the VTP API, and 
embed an interactive interpreter (pyshell/pycrust?) to control the scene graph 
of the 3d visualization tool.

My initial experiments with swig to wrap a few of the VTP objects was pretty 
painless... so I wonder, was this a honeymoon?  Hopefully, y'all with 
experience writing or using swig bindings or other c/py framework can weigh in. 
 Rants, gotchas, resources, whatever great or token wisdom will be sincerely 
appreciated.

Thanks!

Nino
