FYI, swig does not support unique_ptr or weak_ptr yet[1].  If you change
any code in pcbnew that gets swigged using these pointer templates, the
python scripting will fail to build.  If you want to use unique_ptr, you
will have to create a swig wrapper for it[2].  SWIG does support
shared_ptr so that may be an option.
