Hello Thomas, 

sorry, should have mentioned ctypes already.  of course nobody will
mindlessly rewrite the functionality of your module.  are you ok
with rewriting the above into:

    - further explore the ctypes approach to perform C/Machine-level
      calls from Python without extra C-bindings

?

not even some days?  :-)

anyway, maybe you can help identify tasks around ctypes? 
I have to talk to Jens-Uwe to see what he is up to.
