[pyphy] wrapping C++ code in python

[J.W. Bizzaro]

Hi Rick!

Welcome back.  I hope you enjoyed your "field trip".

I know that Python is most commonly wrapped around C, and that's what you'll
find reference to in any introductory text.  But supposedly one can wrap just
about any language.

I haven't done any of this myself, so I can't be of much help.  But I need to
learn, and any hints from what you've learned would be great.


Cheers.
Jeff
