Marco, I would disagree here. Usually there are only few things that need to be sorted out in SIP files, typically: - input/output parameter annotations: In, Out - ownership transfer annotations: Transfer, TransferBack, TransferThis, Factory The c++ author knows the semantics - someone who just wants to use that code does not. Ideally these things should be clear from doxygen documentation. However sometimes the header is not that well documented, so the person adding SIP files would need to look into the code. Anyway I do not expect from developers to make use of some advanced SIP annotations that require writing some code with python/sip api.
