There is an undocumented feature that will do dynamic casting of Lights to PointLights automatically, but it doesn't work for our case when the two classes are wrapped in different interfaces.

You should use the extended functions I added:

        point_light = PointLight.fromLight(light)
        if (point_light != None):
            return self.addPointLight(where, point_light)

If you want examples of typecasting, look in pycallback.i, but in this case it is removing the type and passing through the python object.

does anyone know offhand how to typecast in python using swig? I mean aside from creating a c function that is like type2* func (type1* ) which is a pain.
