Hi Joseph,

Sorry for answering you so late... and thank you very much for the
Python extension!

I took some of your ideas and merged one Python binding a few minutes
ago [0]. Let me know if it works for you, and if you see any possible
improvements.

* The Python extension is based on Swig [1].

* It supports both Python 2 and Python 3 thanks to the 'future' Python
  module [2].

* A short example is available in sources [3].

* All non-regression tests runs fine with the pure-Python
  implementation of the non-regression test [4].

* It is a bit slow when compared with the pure C implementation, but it
  makes prototyping applications so much easier.

* There are instructions for building, installing and testing the
  Python extension on the wiki [5].

* There are also some info in the README and INSTALL files in sources.

Regards,
Didier
