Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator
<p>

<p>
SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in
C, C++, and Objective-C with a variety of high-level programming
languages. SWIG is primarily used with common scripting languages
such as Perl, Python, and Tcl/Tk, but has also been extended to
include languages such as Java, Eiffel, and Guile. SWIG is most
commonly used to create high-level interpreted programming
environments and as a tool for building user interfaces. SWIG may be
freely used, distributed, and modified for commercial and
noncommercial use.

<h3>Important Notice</h3>
SWIG is currently in a state of redevelopment in which it is being
completely restructured and purged of C++. This work can be found in the SWIG1.3 series of
releases. If you are concerned about stability or are a first-time user, you may want to
download some variant of SWIG1.1 instead. Caveat--SWIG1.1 may not be compatible with
recent releases of certain scripting languages such as Perl 5.6 and Guile.
Note: These changes only pertain to the implementation of SWIG (the new version
continues to support C++ wrappers).
<p>
SWIG is an all volunteer effort. We are always looking for fearless people with
an abundance of spare time.
