"What is SIP?

One of the features of Python that makes it so powerful is the ability to 
take existing libraries, written in C or C++, and make them available as 
Python extension modules. Such extension modules are often called bindings 
for the library.

SIP is a tool that makes it very easy to create Python bindings for C and 
C++ libraries. It was originally developed to create PyQt, the Python 
bindings for the Qt toolkit, but can be used to create bindings for any C or 
C++ library. "

It's not C++ only. The code for SIP is also in C.
