Not true. The client_copy function doesn't have the first argument,
for example. On really careful reading that makes sense, since it
seems to be an output argument.

When the two languages match, yes, it seems that way. But, for
example, the log_msg_func returns a string via a char ** argument, and
Python doesn't have any such thing. So it has to be something
different in Python.

Expecting people to read cryptic .h files AND even more cryptic SWIG
files is really not very nice at all.
