At least, it was not possible two years before, when I started pygsl. The aim of pygsl is to provide modularised and objectoriented access to the gsl features. Yes, writing an interface by hand is not very nice, but usefull for those, who use it. If you have success with swig, just mail to mailto:pygsl-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net . Yours, Achim
