[Numpy-discussion] Numpy + SWIG

[Chris Barker]

HAVe you discovered the numpy.i interface files?

I haven't done SWIG in a while, but they should take care of at least
some of this for you.

They used to be distributed with numpy (in docs?), but some googling
should find then in any case.

I'd like to wrap this too, and ideally it would also automatically handle the array lengths, but I'd be happy to have anything right now.  I'm also quite comfortable with the idea of packing z as a column array and reshaping it as necessary.
