Sorry about constantly replying to myself but the further I get into the 
pybindgen code, the more I get lost!! I've temporarily solved my 
'uint8_t *' problem by using 'char *' but since I'll be using strings 
that may have embedded nulls I'm moving everything across to std::string 
types so that problem goes away:-)

Where I've got to now is I can't find how to declare a docstring for a 
function or method.

Any clues?

Cheers
