I don't know if it's a feature of Swig, but Swig C++ modules are also hard to use from Python, because they're missing reflection, docstrings, etc. I don't know if it was a shortcoming of the Swig module I was working with (e.g. author didn't bother to add docstrings) or the Swig itself, but it was pretty uncomfortable working with module that provides zero runtime documentation and incomplete documentation. Also, structure of the resulting module, classes, methods was kind of unpythonic.
