Do you have any interest in utilizing SWIG to create those bindings?
http://swig.org/
One of the proposed Google Summer of Code projects was to create
python binding using SWIG, quoting the project proposal:
What I want to do is to create a python binding by using SWIG, so my
efforts can be used in future to create additional bindings (like
perl, ruby, etc).
In this way we could uniform the bindings and makes the haiku API more
easy to learn. This will attract new developers and new users to
develop new applications.
Basically, while SWIG may take more effort up front, it will
accelerate future bindings for other languages.
hope this helps some.
