Using C++ and ctypes together: a vast conspiracy? ;)

[Brian]

What is the goal of this conversation that goes above and beyond what
Boost.Python + pygccxml achieve? Boost has published a variety of libraries
that will be included into the next c++ standard. It's hard to imagine a
better designed python/c++ interface library than Boost.Python. Further,
pygccxml is amazing with regards to scanning your source code using gcc
itself and then using that xml representation to write out the Boost.Python
code. What more do people in this conversation want?
