Martin,

I've addressed this to you since you seem to be playing with the relevant code these days, but others may be interested as well.

Have you looked at what it would take to create new "structure sequence" types from Python code? This seems like a reasonable thing to do, especially when an existing API returns a long(ish) tuple of fields. I'd like to be able to use it for my proposed urlparse changes (http://www.python.org/sf/624325), but there seems to be no way to get to it. What's needed to do something currently feels like too much code for what little is being done (see the patch if unsure of what I mean).

Thanks!

-Fred
