Unfortunately you will soon find out there is no real alternative to GCC-XML
if you have to do serious parsing of C++ headers.  The time invested in
getting GCC-XML to work for you will pay off in the end in case your project
has multi-year scope and large API set to wrap.  If on the other hand your
project is small, you can get by if you just manually write your wrappers
(both boost.python and pybindgen support this manual wrapping method).

Either way, know that wrapping C/C++ for Python is usually hard for
beginners, but don't give up, it gets easier with practice :-)
