Yes, exactly.

1. Yes, I will patch swig if needed until ctypes binding become ready.
Original swig binding contain many trivial errors and sometimes non python-way api. I tried to fix that, but discovered problem with pypy as it is not compatible well with swig. So I decide to write new one using ctypes.

2. Yes, when ctypes binding will be ready, I will replace swig with ctypes. But drop-in replacement will not be guaranteed, as the api will change.

3. No, i have no documentation yet. Architecture changes somewhat. I'm trying to write api both thin and pythonic at the same time. I mean generators instead of get_first + get_next, automatic destruction and object dependency tracking, and so on. I appreciate any help, so it will be nice if you review my work.  If you want I to implement some of features just for you - please ask me.
