+with Python 1.6.  Just put these in your swig_lib/python dir and
+you'll be all set.  These are from SWIG 1.1-810, (yes, I am a bit

+
+The SWIG typemap library provides a language independent mechanism for
+supporting output arguments, input values, and other C function
+calling mechanisms.  The primary use of the library is to provide a
+better interface to certain C function--especially those involving
+pointers.

+// These remap a C pointer to be an "INPUT" value which is passed by value
+// instead of reference.
+
+
+#ifdef AUTODOC
+%subsection "Input Methods"
+
+%text %{
+The following methods can be applied to turn a pointer into a simple
+"input" value.  That is, instead of passing a pointer to an object,
+you would use a real value instead.
+
+         int            *INPUT
+         short          *INPUT
+         long           *INPUT
+         unsigned int   *INPUT
+         unsigned short *INPUT
+         unsigned long  *INPUT
+         unsigned char  *INPUT
+         float          *INPUT
+         double         *INPUT
+
+To use these, suppose you had a C function like this :
+
+        double fadd(double *a, double *b) {
+               return *a+*b;
+        }
+
+You could wrap it with SWIG as follows :
+
+        %include typemaps.i
+        double fadd(double *INPUT, double *INPUT);
+
+or you can use the %apply directive :
+
+        %include typemaps.i
+        %apply double *INPUT { double *a, double *b };
+        double fadd(double *a, double *b);
+
+%}
+#endif
+
+%typemap(python,in) double *INPUT(double temp)
+{
+  temp = PyFloat_AsDouble($source);
+  $target = &temp;
+}
+
+%typemap(python,in) float  *INPUT(float temp)
+{
+  temp = (float) PyFloat_AsDouble($source);
+  $target = &temp;
+}
+
+%typemap(python,in) int            *INPUT(int temp)
+{
+  temp = (int) PyInt_AsLong($source);
+  $target = &temp;

+
+%typemap(python,in) short          *INPUT(short temp)
+{
+  temp = (short) PyInt_AsLong($source);
+  $target = &temp;
+}

+  temp = (long) PyInt_AsLong($source);
+  $target = &temp;

+{
+  temp = (unsigned int) PyInt_AsLong($source);
+  $target = &temp;
+}
+%typemap(python,in) unsigned short *INPUT(unsigned short temp)
+{
+  temp = (unsigned short) PyInt_AsLong($source);
+  $target = &temp;
+}
+%typemap(python,in) unsigned long  *INPUT(unsigned long temp)
+{
+  temp = (unsigned long) PyInt_AsLong($source);
+  $target = &temp;
+}
+%typemap(python,in) unsigned char  *INPUT(unsigned char temp)
+{
+  temp = (unsigned char) PyInt_AsLong($source);
+  $target = &temp;
+}
+
+%typemap(python,in) signed char  *INPUT(signed char temp)
+{
+  temp = (unsigned char) PyInt_AsLong($source);
+  $target = &temp;
+}
+
+// OUTPUT typemaps.   These typemaps are used for parameters that
+// are output only.   The output value is appended to the result as
+// a list element.
+
+#ifdef AUTODOC
+%subsection "Output Methods"
+
+%text %{
+The following methods can be applied to turn a pointer into an "output"
+value.  When calling a function, no input value would be given for
+a parameter, but an output value would be returned.  In the case of
+multiple output values, they are returned in the form of a Python tuple.
+
+         int            *OUTPUT
+         short          *OUTPUT
+         long           *OUTPUT
+         unsigned int   *OUTPUT
+         unsigned short *OUTPUT
+         unsigned long  *OUTPUT
+         unsigned char  *OUTPUT
+         float          *OUTPUT
+         double         *OUTPUT
+
+A Python List can also be returned by using L_OUTPUT instead of OUTPUT.
+
+For example, suppose you were trying to wrap the modf() function in the
+C math library which splits x into integral and fractional parts (and
+returns the integer part in one of its parameters).K:
+
+        double modf(double x, double *ip);
+
+You could wrap it with SWIG as follows :
+
+        %include typemaps.i
+        double modf(double x, double *OUTPUT);
+
+or you can use the %apply directive :
+
+        %include typemaps.i
+        %apply double *OUTPUT { double *ip };
+        double modf(double x, double *ip);
+
+The Python output of the function would be a tuple containing both
+output values.

+%subsection "Input/Output Methods"
+
+%text %{
+The following methods can be applied to make a function parameter both
+an input and output value.  This combines the behavior of both the
+"INPUT" and "OUTPUT" methods described earlier.  Output values are
+returned in the form of a Python tuple.  To return a Python list,
+using L_INOUT instead.
+
+         int            *INOUT
+         short          *INOUT
+         long           *INOUT

+         unsigned long  *INOUT
+         unsigned char  *INOUT
+         float          *INOUT
+         double         *INOUT
+
+For example, suppose you were trying to wrap the following function :
+
+        void neg(double *x) {
+             *x = -(*x);
+        }
+
+You could wrap it with SWIG as follows :
+
+        %include typemaps.i
+        void neg(double *INOUT);
+
+or you can use the %apply directive :
+
+        %include typemaps.i
+        %apply double *INOUT { double *x };
+        void neg(double *x);
+
+Unlike C, this mapping does not directly modify the input value (since
+this makes no sense in Python).  Rather, the modified input value shows
+up as the return value of the function.  Thus, to apply this function
+to a Python variable you might do this :
+
+       x = neg(x)
+
+Note : previous versions of SWIG used the symbol 'BOTH' to mark
+input/output arguments.   This is still supported, but will be slowly
+phased out in future releases.

+The typemaps.i library also provides the following mappings :

+PyObject *
+
+      When a PyObject * appears as either an input value or return
+      value of a function, SWIG passes it through unmodified.  Thus,
+      if you want to write a C function that operates on PyObjects,
+      it is easy to write.  For example :
+
+           %include typemaps.i
+           PyObject *spam(PyObject *obj1, int n);
+
+      Unlike normal Python wrapper functions, These functions can
+      use any combination of parameters that you wish.
