I have a local py-glpk package that I am attempting to update to
a modern version of glpk. It requires an update to both glpk (which
I have ready) and an update to swig.

I was wondering where swig-python is headed. I swigged the python
wrapper for glpk and the glpk team is asking me to bundle it up
and donate it to the glpk project, which I would be glad to do,
but I would like to determine the best os-independent method of
accomplishing this.

What is the prevailing preference for using swig with python? Should
I be trying to use swig-python, a python setup.py (what I currently
use) or a std makefile (which would be easy also) ?
