Does this use case make sense to everyone? The reason why we are discussing this on python-dev is that we are looking for a general way to expose these C level signatures within the Python ecosystem. And Dag's idea was to expose them as part of the type object, basically as an addition to the current Python level tp_call() slot.
The use case makes sense, yet there is also a long-standing solution already to expose APIs and function pointers: the capsule objects.
If you want to avoid dictionary lookups on the server side, implement tp_getattro, comparing addresses of interned strings.
