So you're basically answering "no" :-)  As you're describing it, cppyy
is at the "ctypes" level of providing automatic everything and lots of
options and ways to work around them if they are not wanted.  CFFI is
at the opposite end of the spectrum on this respect.  But that is for
C.  I don't have enough practical knowledge of C++ to judge how viable
a "CPPFFI" would be.


A bientôt,

Armin.
