I would guess that it got better in the meantime. David Malcolm has been
using it for static analysis of CPython extension modules and gave a talk
about it at this year's PyCon-US.

At the end of the talk, he was asked what bugs his tools found not only in
manually written code but in generated code, specifically C code generated
by Cython. He answered that it was rather the other way round: he had used
Cython generated code to prune false positives from his analysis tool. :)
