Ahh, because it works really well? :)
Seriously, depending on the library, it can make creating wrappers trivial.
It can do most of the work itself, you just have to help it with ambiguos
parameters - like int * refererring to a list of ints or something. Python is
very well documented on the swig site. Give it a shot.
Having said that. I would guess - not having used modulator - that a reason not
to prefer swig is that you need to compile a shared module. does the modulator
produce a pure python source result?
