It's lib/python that needs to be fixed, see
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2010-May/050502.html

Glynn is looking for alternatives to SWIG and currently trying ctypesgen.

Citing from
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2010-May/050496.html

ctypesgen can be obtained via SVN:

svn checkout http://ctypesgen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ctypesgen-read-only

or you can get a tarball from:

http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/distfiles/ctypesgen-0_p72.tar.bz2

To build:

	python setup.py build install

Although it's probably not as widespread as SWIG, it has the advantage
that both ctypesgen itself and the wrappers which it generates are
pure Python code, with no binary components.

I'm also going to look at ctypeslib:

	http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ctypeslib/

I went with ctypesgen first as there's a supported Gentoo package for
it.

Get ctypesgen, install it or put ctypesgen.py somewhere in your path,
that should do the trick.
