In the simplest model, SWIG just writes the stub to allow [Python, etc] to use a package written in C++. In any more complicated model, you'd have to ask someone who actually got it to work. There's also a Python package out there that provides access to arbitrary DLLs, as well as the Python Imaging Library, PIL (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/). -----Original Message----- From: Brandon J.

Everything I read in the Python archives said Boost had far better C++ support. I never did ask anyone about it though. Does SWIG have any advantages of simplicity over Boost? I want KISS, not complicated wrappers like Boost makes me deal with.
