Your proposed "Unity API" (which I assume has nothing to do with Natty Narwhal's preferred interface) already exists. It's the C language.
Or maybe GObject Introspection is closer to what you have in mind? A library that supports GI advertises enough information about itself for dynamic languages such as Python and Ruby to automatically construct fairly object-oriented interfaces. It's not perfect, though; for example, the old PyGtk module used to let you access most of what Gtk calls "properties" using Python attribute access, but with GI you have to call the get_property and set_property functions. Also you often can't just call a class to construct an object, but have to call a separate constructor function instead. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
