I think the audiences are different.  SWIG is for taking an existing
library of C or C++ code and making it available in Python.  It seems
to me that Inline is about making multiple languages available to a
programmer while the programmer is writing new code.  I agree with you
that the first task is much, much harder.  However, there is also a
useful payoff from the second.
