Answer 1

To fix the problem, I downloaded swig for windows

1. Copy swig.exe to the python installation folder (for ex C:/python27)

2. Open swigwin-3.0.12/Lib folder and copy all *.swg files to the C:/python27/lib or equivalent python path

3. Open swigwin-3.0.12/lib/python and copy all the files to (C:/python27/lib)

(Also make sure you have Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python installed)

These steps worked for me.
