Personally, I like the ctypes name. But I'm open for suggestions, and it might have intersting consequences if the Python core package would be renamed to something else.

Any suggestions?

Well, my only concern was py_object. I wondered whether the py_ prefix is really necessary, or, if it is meant to match PyObject* whether it should be called PyObject or PyObject_p.

However, if every ctypes user knows what py_object is, there is probably little point in renaming it.
