python - Using SWIG with pointer to function in C struct

I'm trying to write a SWIG wrapper for a C library that uses pointers to functions in its structs. I can't figure out how to handle structs that contain function pointers. A simplified example follows.

test.i:

/* test.i */

%module test
%{

typedef struct {
    int (*my_func)(int);
} test_struct;

int add1(int n) { return n+1; }

test_struct *init_test()
{
    test_struct *t = (test_struct*) malloc(sizeof(test_struct));
    t->my_func = add1;
}
%}

typedef struct {
    int (*my_func)(int);
} test_struct;

extern test_struct *init_test();

sample session:

Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41) 
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import test
>>> t = test.init_test()
>>> t
<test.test_struct; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'test_struct *' at 0xa1cafd0> >
>>> t.my_func
<Swig Object of type 'int (*)(int)' at 0xb8009810>
>>> t.my_func(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'PySwigObject' object is not callable

Anyone know if it's possible to get t.my_func(1) to return 2?

Thanks!

I found an answer. If I declare the function pointer as a SWIG "member function", it seems to work as expected:

%module test
%{

typedef struct {
  int (*my_func)(int);
} test_struct;

int add1(int n) { return n+1; }

test_struct *init_test()
{
    test_struct *t = (test_struct*) malloc(sizeof(test_struct));
    t->my_func = add1;
    return t;
}

%}

typedef struct {
    int my_func(int);
} test_struct;

extern test_struct *init_test();

Session:

$ python
Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41) 
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import test
>>> t = test.init_test()
>>> t.my_func(1)
2

I was hoping for something that wouldn't require writing any custom SWIG-specific code (I'd prefer to just "%include" my headers without modification), but this will do I guess.
