Thanks for the information. 

I actually have had a very good experience wrapping quite complex C++ libraries, with multiple inheritance and templates, using SWIG, for Python. I have had some success also using SWIG to wrap these same libraries for Java, Lua, and Lisp CFFI, although the multiple inheritance tends to fall off or be abstracted as a member relationship.

Regards,
Mike
