As are the wrapper generators, as it seems:

Do you really have to write all of this by hand to 'generate' a wrapper? How
do you make it functional? (or does it require an exact API mapping?)

I can't help the feeling that Pyrex/Cython code is quite a bit more readable -
and definitely less verbose. Any chance you could motivate your design a little?
