The whole point is that would be possible if Python had data structure
definitions ("types") that were possible to copy and paste from some
single location, instead of building up structures dynamically, adding
fields on the fly in ways that have become obscure over the evolution
of the code.

It strikes me that what you actually want to write is the script that
scans your C data structure and spits out a Python class or module that
implements it with whatever degree of checking you want. That should
make writing your actual data munger safer and faster, if I'm
understanding you correctly.
