%X occam\-pi is a programming language based on the CSP process
   algebra and
the pi\-calculus, and has a powerful syntax for
   expressing concurrency. occam\-pi does not however, come
   with interfaces to a broad range of standard libraries (such
   as those used for graphics or mathematics). Programmers
   wishing to use these must write their own wrappers using
   occam\-pi’s foreign function interface, which can be
   tedious and time consuming. SWIG offers automatic generation
   of wrappers for libraries written in C and C++, allowing
   access to these for the target languages supported by SWIG.
   This paper describes the occam\-pi module for SWIG, which
   will allow automatic wrapper generation for occam\-pi, and
   will ensure that occam\-pi’s library base can be grown in
   a quick and efficient manner. Access to database, graphics
   and hardware interfacing libraries can all be provided with
   relative ease when using SWIG to automate the bulk of the
   work.
