PyBindGen Type Narrowing

Today I finished another important feature in my python bindings generator:
automatic type narrowing of C++ class pointers. It was implemented with a std::map<const char*, PyTypeObject*>, mapping type names to Python wrappers, and the typeid C++ operator, which uses RTTI to return type information in runtime, including type name.

This comes on the heels of supporting function/method/constructor overloading, finished a few days ago. I'm getting increasingly optimistic about pybindgen. It does few things, but does them well. It will hopefully make the (python) world a better place to live in :P
