    How to access MFC classes in Python using SWIG ?

    I am using Python2.3 version with SWIG-1.3.19 to access C++ interface
    provided by a DLL.
    Some of its function returns MFC class objects like CString , CMap. I
    tried to generate wrapper for these classes using SWIG by including
    respective header files in .i file.
    But it doesn't work. Swig reports hundreds parsing errors in MFC's
    file.
    Could you give me any directions..

    Thank you in anticipation

      I'd guess that looking into how win32all does it, and copying that and
      integrating your stuff with it would be the easiest way to go. I
      don't think it uses SWIG.

          the ctypes package may do what you want

              Thanx Brian for your reply,
              ctypes is really very helpful in my case to access most of the
              functions. But I am stuck with some functions which return objects of
              MFC::CString or CMap<>. ctype talks only about c type function and
              simple data types. SWIG provides readymade wrappers for common STL
              classes but not MFC :(
