Last I heard, that was basically what PyBindGen does (and probably some 
other existing binding generators). You should take a look at them before 
investing too much time into a duplicated effort.

Also, if you're interested in performance, you should take a look at 
Cython, which is an optimising compiler for (basically) Python code that 
can talk to C, C++ and Fortran code. It's been used a lot for writing 
performance critical library wrappers.
