OK, my proposal would be to agree on the value of this string too: "module.variable".

That's a fine idea for cases where the CObject is stored as an attribute of a module; my next update of my patch will change the existing uses to use that format.

Why would you care about safety for ctypes? It's about as unsafe as it gets anyway. Coredump emptor I say.

_ctypes and exporting C APIs are not the only use cases of CObjects in the wild. Please see, uh, that email I wrote like five minutes ago, also a reply to you.
