After thinking about it some more, IMO for most purposes ctypes is really quite sub-optimal. I think it would make more sense to work on Parrot support for Python. Sure, in the short term ctypes is more practical than Parrot -- in its most recent incarnation, the latter doesn't even list Python as a supported language -- a regression from last year when Python support was among the best. But in the long term, Parrot (like .NET or Jython do in other contexts) offers cross-language interoperability, and perhaps even (like .NET and Jython) automatic generation of wrappers.
