Do you have a pointer to those? I'd love to see them.

My thoughts on SWIG:

It's real strength is that, being automated, it can be used to wrap 
large libraries, particularly ones that are constantly evolving 
(wxPython). Another one is that it is used for a lot of projects, so 
it's a handy tool to know. I'd never use it to wrap code written just to 
extend python.

By the way, it looks like there is now a code generator for boost:

http://www.language-binding.net/pyplusplus/pyplusplus.html

so that's another option -- but talk about dependencies!

And there's SIP, but I've never heard of it being used by anything other 
than PyQT
