I have some C++ code wrapped using SWIG, and want to map a simple array of objects to a Python list. A much simplified example:

class Point {
  int x;
  int y;
};

class Polygon {
  Point *ptlist();
  int numPoints();
...
};

I want to be able to access ptlist() in Python as a sequence of Points, but can't find any obvious way of doing this using e.g. %extend or typemaps. Any help would be appreciated.
