Well, it's C++, not C, and in C++ you wouldn't idiomatically
use typedef there, but rather write
struct pyStructDerivedClass : PyStructBaseClass
{
int mValue;
};
You'll also be relying on assumptions of how single inheritance
is implemented by your C++ compiler -- but that said, I've used
this assumption in the past and found it to be valid for a wide
range of compiler/ABIs.
