Thanks, Hazen, for your work on this, and thanks Simon for the original patch. Simon (or Hazen) could you explain why there is a minimum swig version requirement? Is the issue that this python capability only was available after a certain epoch, corresponding swig adjustments had to be made subsequent to that epoch, and those adjustments landed in the release after 1.3.38 so our build system must test for swig version greater than 1.3.38?
