This is a very cool idea, except I'm running into an issue. I've made a 
modification to reflect.txt, I changed the DLL name from "libpython2.3.so" to 
"python24.dll".

(creflect.py is your reflect.txt attachment with my modification, ctypes.py is 
http://sparcs.kaist.ac.kr/~tinuviel/fepy/lib/ctypes.py)

 >>> import creflect

(Bit of a bizarrely structured stack trace!)
