You're doing it wrong ;)

Read the SWIG documentation on generating shadow classes for Python, which
will give you the result you're looking for. More specifically, if you
process your SWIG interface file with the "-shadow" command line option,
e.g.

    swig -c++ -python -shadow my_module.i

you should end up with both the C++ wrapper source code (something like
"my_module_wrap.cxx") and a shadow class module (something like
"my_module.py").

Hope this helps,
