Can you describe your problems in more detail?
Best is to also add a patch, so if somebody wants to look into it,
it can be done right away.

The result of swig usually is just C and Python so there is no magic in 
debugging it. 
Lately we thought that doing a python-wrapper for shapelib without swig 
is better, because there is so much fine tuning when you use swig for each
language that you do not win much in using swig.
