Not really, this sounds pretty reasonable.  Two thoughts:

1) Man, I hate C.  Not news :-)

2) /Might/ it be possible to do this automatically for a few slots?
   (i.e. are there any slots that have parameter lists that let the
   the tp_foo implementation function just be wrapped up in a METH_O
   or METH_NOARGS PyCFunction?).  Bit of a hack, mind.

Cheers,
mwh
