License : GPLv2 or GPLv3 and (GPLv3+ with exceptions)
Description : SIP is a tool for generating bindings for C++ classes so that they
: can be accessed as normal Python classes. SIP takes many of its
: ideas from SWIG but, because it is specifically designed for C++
: and Python, is able to generate tighter bindings. SIP is so called
: because it is a small SWIG.
:
: SIP was originally designed to generate Python bindings for KDE
: and so has explicit support for the signal slot mechanism used by
: the Qt/KDE class libraries. However, SIP can be used to generate
: Python bindings for any C++ class library.
