[python] scoping of methods added via %extend

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi--

Consider the following swig input:

- ----------------------------------------
%module question

class A {
public:
A() {}
 
%extend {
 void foo() { int i=1; }
}
};
- ----------------------------------------

I generate wrappers using:
% swig -v -Wall -c++ -python -shadow question.i


In the resulting .cxx file, the scope of the wrapped function is
file-local (it has the static keyword):

  static PyObject *_wrap_A_foo(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { ... }

However, the scope of the added member function is global:

  void A_foo(A *self){ int i=1; }

Is this intentional? These global symbols cause me problems on some
platforms. I'm using swig-1.3.17.

thanks--
Charles
