Along these lines, what ever happened to Sanghyeon Seo's CPython 
reflector?

I think it might be an avenue worth exploring, since this would also 
make other native modules available as a by-product. Last I heard, the 
JRuby folks were also trying something these lines for native MRI 
modules, using JNA (essentially, a Java equivalent to ctypes).

Good luck with your project. I hope it succeeds.

Cheers,
