The reasons apply to the questions why I use plain C/Python API and
dislike boost or SWIG or anything else.

The level of information hiding afforded by this tools also hides
potential problems. Yes, they will "help" me program, but don't
give me the level of flexibility that I need at this stage.

Plain Python/C API is also faster (I consider speed important for the
core game engine as opposed to gameplay layer) and more Python
friendly because Python itself is written in C.
