Hi Jake, Thanks for your comment!
Use the exist Python header parser could save a lot of work. I will be glad to accept it. If other friends believe the dependency of Python is not a problem, too. Then I will write the the type conversion first(Mat, etc), like Java binding did(../modules/java/generator).
