Seeing as nobody more knowledgeable has answered your question -- SWIG
support does work, for minimal stuff I've tried, at least.  You may get
some warnings about the SWIG-generated code, because distutils turns them
on.  Ignore them.

I don't know if it knows about shadow classes yet.

example:

import distutils
from distutils.core import setup, Extension

setup(name="foo",
      version="0.1",
      packages=[...],
      ext_modules=[Extension("foo.bar",
                             ["uri/to/barmodule.c",
                              "uri/to/bar.i"])]
      )
