How can I setup swig so that python will recognize a pointer to a class
as the object itself.
In Python everything is a pointer - there's no such thing as "the object
itself". So, what do you actually want to do?
BTW, if SWIG is giving you PySwigObjects rather than actual proxy class
objects (i.e. opaque pointers rather than typed pointers), it's probably
because it hasn't seen a full definition of the MyClass class before it
encountered the MyClass * function.
