The good news is that the standard SWIG library has already done most of
the work for you. If you add:
%include std_string.i
...in your .i file, then SWIG automagically (using typemaps) converts
between the STL std::string type and Python strings.
More documentation is here:
http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/Library.html
...where you'll see similar examples for converting between std::vector
and Python lists, std::map and Python dictionaries, and more.
