ctypes have the benefit that there is no C-code to compile, so it's very nice to use for wrapping standard libraries written by someone else, and already exists in binary versions for Windows and OS X.

Imitating the C macro with Python ctypes is possible but tedious: you begin by fetching the _pack_ of the self.__class__ and the ctypes.sizeof for each of the _fields_.
