Doesn't seem to work.
The relevant lines in wiredevents_wrap.cxx should be:
SWIGINTERN PyObject *_wrap_Fitter_findTrack(PyObject *SWIGUNUSEDPARM
(self), PyObject *args) {
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args,(char
*)"OO:Fitter_findTrack",&obj0,&obj1)) SWIG_fail;
SWIG_exception_fail(SWIG_ArgError(res1), "in method '"
"Fitter_findTrack" "', argument " "1"" of type '" "WireHit **""'");
