This mechanism is probably a hack because it'n not possible to add C accessible fields to type objects, on the other hand it is extensible (in principle, at least). I better start rewriting PyObjC then :-). PyObjC stores some addition information in the type objects that are used to describe Objective-C classes (such as a reference to the proxied class). IIRC This has been possible from Python 2.3.

I assume you are referring to the code in pyobjc/Modules/objc/objc-class.h ?

If this really is reliable I should better start rewriting ctypes then ;-).

Hm, I always thought there was some additional magic going on with type objects, fields appended dynamically at the end or whatever.
