It will when you decide to make it more than pure C++ binding. The
issue with Bethon is that you are actually coding using the C++ logic
in Python.
I am actually experimenting (silently) on another approach, but up
until now with little success. Python and C++ are not as compatible as
I would like. Especially problematic are inherited hook functions.
So if your GSOC application is not just creating python bindings, but
a python interface, I would qualify that as a valid project.
Kind regards,
