Take a look at http://www.swig.org/, swig can more-or-less automatically
generate wrappers from C or C++ header files.  Also have a look at
http://www.python.org/doc/current/ext/ext.html if you want to get an
idea of how to write wrappers by hand.

You should probably not try to modify the VTK python wrappers to wrap
other software -- most of the code in vtkParse.y, vtkParse.l, vtkParse.h
and vtkWrapPython.c is VTK-specific and wouldn't be much use elsewhere.
