How do I access the sysctl(3) call from Python on BSD?
Specifically I want to retrieve:
$ sysctl -d net.inet.ip.stats
net.inet.ip.stats: IP statistics (struct ipstat, netinet/ip_var.h)
So I'll need some way of getting to struct ipstat from Python as well
At the moment, only through

This module performs conversions between Python values and C structs
represented as Python strings. It uses format strings (explained
below) as compact descriptions of the lay-out of the C structs
