If you have only few classes / member functions Boost-Python is a good 
solution.

I heard that SWIG can also generate glue code for C++.

You could also look at Py-QT they have a tool like SWIG (SIP I think), 
which they use to generate the glue code for the fairly big QT 
library. Maybe you like it better.
