You should look into SIP besides the tools you already mentioned - IMHO it is the best choice for wrapping C++. And yes, you need to wrap classes - but only those that are of interest for you! So if you need Player, wrap Player. No need to wrap it's base-classes, unless you want these for other purposes, too. And for global objects I'd create functions which return these. I suggest you try and download a project that uses one of the possible toolkits for wrapping - the most prominent user of SIP is of course PyQt. Go and have a look at the source, how things are done. There aresome tutorials I think, google should help you on that. HTH Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
