Hm, for pure shock value I think I'll use the acronym PYthon Native Interface 
Support.

pynis! :-)

A set of C++ classes to ease the writing of extensions.

Like,


<code file="Ptr.h">
// progrock.pynis  --  "Python Native Interface Support"
// A simple C++ framework for writing Python 3.x extensions.
//
// Copyright (C) Alf P. Steinbach, 2010.

#ifndef PYNIS_PTR_H
#define PYNIS_PTR_H
#include <progrock/cppx/devsupport/better_experience.h>


//----------------------------------------- Dependencies:

#include <Python.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <algorithm>



//----------------------------------------- Interface:

namespace progrock{ namespace pynis {

     enum DoAddRef { doAddRef };

     class Ptr
     {
     private:
         PyObject*   p_;

     public:
         Ptr( PyObject* p = 0 ): p_( p )
         {}

         Ptr( PyObject* p, DoAddRef ): p_( p )
         {
             assert( p != 0 );
             Py_INCREF( p_ );
         }

         Ptr( Ptr const& other ): p_( other.p_ )
         {
             Py_XINCREF( p_ );
         }

         ~Ptr()
         {
             Py_XDECREF( p_ );
         }

         void swapWith( Ptr& other ) { std::swap( p_, other.p_ ); }
         Ptr& operator=( Ptr other ) { swapWith( other ); return *this; }

         PyObject* get() const       { return p_; }

         PyObject* release()
         {
             PyObject* const result  = p_;
             Py_XDECREF( p_ );
             p_ = 0;
             return result;
         }
     };

} }  // namespace progrock::pynis


#endif

Cheers,

PS: Darn, forgot to google it. But I think it's unlikely the name's already in use!
