If it's pure C, stop using SWIG. Create a DLL/SO-file of your message.c &
use ctypes to wrap that.

Not sure where you're having trouble. I can understand if there's a
language barrier, but I think that the introductory SWIG documentation
is pretty darn straightforward, even if you just look at the code, so
I don't think there's anything that could be said here that's any more
clear, as far as the basics are concerned. You'd have to explain
exactly what it is you're stuck on.

As far as I understand, SWIG will not generate an interface file for
you. You have to write it yourself, to tell SWIG what parts of your API
you want to expose in python.

HTH,
