It'd be possible to support some of C++ fairly straightforwardly. For
example, binding overloaded functions should work with the current
ctypes release if you use stub generation (i.e. the Cstubs module),
and calling function templates will probably work too. It'd be a bit
more work to support exceptions and member functions, but it could
probably be done. C++ support is not currently high up on the
priority list, but I'd be happy to help out if someone wanted to start
looking at a design.
