No, exactly the opposite (if you are talking about PyInline).

PyInline builds C code callable from Python (with building an
extension and compiling it with a C compiler dynamically),
I want Python code to create complicated C-type data types
(structures, unions, ...) and pass them to C code via a
calldll-like mechanism.
