Is there a way to make ctypes and CF play together? I think that if  
this gets added to PyObjC then people needing to access low-level  
stuff from Python could do it themselves (for the bits they need).  
That's probably smaller in focus and more enabling than wrapping a C  
based framework that only a few people will use.
