IMO we should leave the semanageswig.i as the language neutral interface file (and not remove the _by_idx functions) and make language specific files include it. Then all the common parts are in semanageswig.i and python specific ones are in another file. That way we are free to use better features for python without eliminating the possibility of building the wrappers for another language and it shouldn't make maintenance any harder.
