I'm talking about the former.
Frankly, I don't want that. Most C APIs are horrendously unPythonic,
so you'd need a wrapper anyway; plus, you shouldn't have to use C-like
idioms except VERY rarely (eg pointers and stuff).
Yes, you'd need an ugly wrapper. But at least it would be in Python.
As it is, you still need a wrapper, it's still ugly, and it's probably
written in C and buried in CPython somewhere.
