Enchant has a pretty simple C API so the binding process was straightforward with both SWIG and ctypes. The only real trick was in passing python functions as callbacks to the C API, for which I found ctypes a little easier to use. The switch wasn't motivated by any problems with SWIG, but simply because ctypes seems to have a lot of momentum on the alternate python implementations such as PyPy, Jython etc. As others have noted, ctypes unfortunately doesn't support C++ bindings. There was a recent post on the PyPy blog discussing options for C++ that you might be interested in: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2008/10/sprint-discussions-c-library-bindings.html Cheers, Ryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
