That's common use case... And Cython supports that almost for free..

No need at all of such hackery..

you can do this:
def py_function1(obj):
cdef Bar bar = obj
some_c_function(bar.foo) # pass foo_t* to a C function
of even this:
def py_function1(Bar bar):
some_c_function(bar.foo)
So in Cython code, cdef members are "public" and you can access them
as long as you use a "cdef" typeded variable. However, remember that
these cdef member are not accessible from Python side, outside Cython
code.
