I have played around with Boost.Python it provides a very nice python interface and wrapping system. Combined with Py++ you can even get SWIG like wrapper generation. The only downside is of course the compile time which will can get a little long due to the heavy use of templates. But you have to admit being able to do this is pretty cool:

(Toggle Plain Text)

object f(object x, object y) {
     if (y == "foo")
         x.slice(3,7) = "bar";
     else
         x.attr("items") += y(3, x);
     return x;
}
object getfunc() {
    return object(f);
}
