Are you targetting Python 2.2 or later?

Argh!  You're making life very tedious for yourself...

Do you know what you can do with the tp_members and tp_getsets field
of the type object?  I think a C macro expanding to a couple getset
defintions would make your code more pleasant.

I think implementing tp_getattro and not tp_getattr will solve your
immediate problem.
