Maybe with the help of cl-autowrap:

Interestingly there is a CFFI module in Python too. Maybe they got the idea from Lisp.

Um, i'm not sure. Python was designed with C compatibility as a main feature since the start, anyways.

The cffi module in python came from pypy (which broke the cpython c api) - but both the python ctypes module and cffi use libffi:
