How about instaed of cut'n'paste, you incorporate the generated code by
making it a base class (or classes - although I've done some work with
ctypes, I'm not sure I understand just what you're doing).

Alternately, perhaps you could implement the "properties" the
old-fashioned way, using __getattribute__ and __setattr__, with code
there that consults you hand-entered metadata to decide how to handle
each "property".  IIRC properties were introduced as a more convenient
way to handle the most common uses of these older methods.
