Hi,

the PyPy folks have come up with a new FFI library (called cffi) for
CPython (and eventually PyPy, obviously).

http://cffi.readthedocs.org/

It borrows from LuaJIT's FFI in that it parses C declarations at runtime.
It then builds a C extension to access the external code, i.e. it requires
a C compiler at runtime (when running in CPython).

Just thought this might be interesting.
