I have a code library which is written in C++ and makes extensive use of the wxWidgets library. I'm now trying to wrap my library (currently using SWIG) so that it's callable from wxPython, but I've hit a wall:
------ Build started: Project: MyLibLib, Configuration: Release_SWIG_OutputForBin Win32 ------

Is there a particular way I should be going about this? I spent some time googling for similar errors, but got none which suggests I'm probably barking up the wrong tree here...?
[Edit] Is a dll and ctypes the answer?
